Default Passing form data on open

Is it possible to construct a shortcut that would open up Word 2003 and
populate specific fields with data that is passed by arguments to the link?

Something similar to how :C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\Outlook.exe" /c ipm.note /m full e-mail name will create a
new email message previously addressed, but with fields which I created and
named populating themselves.

Thanks

Hi Wowbagger,

No, Word's command line doesn't support anything of this nature. You'd need
to automate it, either an AutoOpen macro in the document or an AutoNew macro
in a template. Or use an EXE to start Word and pass the data.
