problem with event handling

[joel]

What I am trying to do is to get a section of code to run whenever a specific
document (not a template) is opened (using Word 2003 with WinXP SP2). I have
put the following test event handling code in the 'ThisDocument' object of
the word document's project:

Private Sub Document_Open()
MsgBox "Opening document"
End Sub

However, when I close the document and open it up again, the code doesn't
appear to execute i.e. the message box doesn't display. Does this event
handling work with documents that aren't templates? Is there something I'm
missing?

Thanks in advance for your help

Which version of Word are you running?
What are your security settings? (go to Tools, Macro, Security) to find out.
