I suspect that you're going to need one of the .vba newsgroups.
The AutoNew macro doesn't exist until you create it. It is one of a number
of macro names you can give to macros that you want to run automatically at
specific times. From Word's VBA Help file:
AutoExec runs When you start Word or load a global template
AutoNew runs Each time you create a new document
AutoOpen runs Each time you open an existing document
AutoClose runs Each time you close a document
AutoExit runs When you exit Word or unload a global template
It's simply a matter of creating the desired automatic macro, then stuffing
it with the desired commands (and ensuring that it is created in the
appropriate template file).
But, I suspect that "simply" isn't quite going to do it. You might start

In an effort to automate my document, and not having to depend on the
user knowing which button to press, I am wishing my merge to go
automatically to a new document?
It was suggested to put code in an AUTONEW macro in my tempate. How do
I do this? Where would I find this autonew macro? I'm lost with VB
through Word. Excel is a bit easier.
Also, how can I have the new document save automatically with a file
name based on one of the merge fields of the new document?
