Modifying the way Word opens
I want to modify the way Word starts from my Windows Quick Launch icons,
so that it doesn't open with a blank new document. First question - is it possible to modify the default quicklaunch icon for Word to add a command switch? I can't see any way of doing this. For example I would like to modify it to include the /w switch - or do I have to make a new shortcut? Second - Opening Word with the template dialogue open? can't find the switch to do this in help Third - with the Open dialogue opened? Ditto - can't find a command switch for this. Many thanks.

Modifying the way Word opens
You may open Word with no blank by adding the /n switch to the startup
command. You cannot achieve the other options from command line switches. You would need to create a macro for this and probably the AutoOpen macro would do this best. If there are not too many templates that you want to select from, you could create several launch buttons for Word with modified start commands using the template switch: /tpath/templatename. Look up Command Line Switches under Word Help. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Robert M Jones" wrote in message ...

No way to modify the existing default quicklaunch icon then? -- Rev Robert M Jones, Wimborne Baptist Church, UK http://www.wimborne-baptist.org.uk Free trial of Mailwasher Pro - effective email spam filter - (commission goes to our partners in Bulgaria) http://fta.firetrust.com/index.cgi?id=420 |
