Default Preventing document opening at startup

"GregNga" wrote in message
...
Is there a way to prevent having a new document opened at startup. I would
rather start Word and then clcik the New button or select New off the file
menu. Often I am going to open an existing document, so when I start Word,
I
have to cancel the new document that was opened and then open the one I
want
to update.

You can do this in Excel with /e switch when executing the .EXE but that
does not seem to work in Word


For Word, use the /n switch.
