Set a document to open hidden

[quartz]

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

In Excel, you can set up a file containing programs that runs "hidden" by
going to [Window] then [Hide] and save the file in the Visual Basic Editor.

How can I do this in Word?

Must it be done using VBA? If so, could someone please supply example code?

Thanks much in advance.

place the template in Word's Startup folder. You can find the location of
the startup folder by going to Tools, Options, File Locations.

Any template placed in the Startup folder is automatically loaded as an
add-in when Word starts, making its macros & toolbars available to the user.

Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply. I saved the file as a regular file (.doc) and it
contains an Autpen program that loads a custom toolbar. I placed the file
in the startup folder, but now when I click the button on the toolbar, I get
an error message stating that the macro cannot be found.

I'm sure it is something I am doing wrong, but...???
