No macro necessary. You can use Tools | Customize to create a toolbar button
for FileNewDialog. For more, see

I am using Windows XP and I would like to create a macro (I think that's
the
right word) for a shortcut for going to file, new, like the older versions
on
Word would do. I have done this before on another computer but I can't
find
the directions and I can't override the normals on this new computer just
to
get the macro. I searched before posting but couldn't find the answer.

Help, anyone? Thanks!
