Running a Macro in a Template, on Event

[David]

Hi.

I have a macro that I've constructed in word which will insert bookmarks as
per a table template that I've created in our Visual FoxPro based
database/frontend. The Visual FoxPro frontend inserts this information into
Word - and I've also instructed it to use a word template which contains my
Macro

The Macro works fine, but what I'm wanting to do is automate the process,
rather than having to run the Macro once the document has been produced from
FoxPro, using the .dot file.

Is there any way to make this happen? I've tried several of the On-Events
but none of them seem to work. What I basically want it to do, is once the
Document has been opened and the information has been sent to it from our
FoxPro database, that the Macro automatically runs

Thanks in Advance

You may want to look in to Auto macros. Here's a couple of quick sources:
