Where to put a macro that I want to run when Word closes?

[Stephen English]

I want to run a macro when the user closes Word rather than when they close a
document. Is there a place to put this please?

It can go in any loaded template or add-in. If this is purely for your own
use, normal.dot is simplest. If it's for distribution, create an add-in.

 

[MacroView]

Use the AutoExit macro as it runs when Word quits. If its not just for
persoal use then don't store on Normal.dot but on a global template in
your Startup folder.

Use the AutoExit macro as it runs when Word quits. If its not just for
persoal use then don't store on Normal.dot but on a global template in
your Startup folder.

Be aware that strictly speaking AutoExit is not run when Word closes, it is
run when that template is unloaded.

If the AutoExit is in normal.dot, normal.dot is only ever unloaded
immediately prior to Word closing so this is a distinction is without much
of a practical difference. But for add-ins, the AutoExit macro will run also
if you go to Tools, Templates and add-ins, and uncheck the template in the
addins list.
