No, if the AutoOpen macro is stored in Normal.dot then it will apply
to any document regardless of the attached document template. Now, if
the AutoOpen macro is stored in the document template then it will
only apply to documents that are attached to the template. Perhaps you
are thinking of Document_Open?

If you want more information on this I believe there is an article
Word MVP FAQ site that covers auto macros and document event macros.
:-)

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Wallace -

AutoOpen runs when you open an existing document which is based on
the template containing the template. So, if you got to Tools,
Templates and Add-in's, is the document template "Normal" listed?
If not, then you will need to add the AutoOpen to whichever template
the document is based on, so that it can connect the references.
