How about creating a shortcut to the file on your desktop?

Tony:
Use the Macro Recorder to record your steps in opening this document. Give it a name your will readily recognize. Then you can use ToolsCustomize, Commands tab; choose Macros on left list and your letterhead macro on the right list, then drag this icon up to one of your toolbars. Or you can click the Keyboard button, choose Macros on left list and your letterhead macro on the right list, and Assign a keystroke combination. HTH Ed "tony cox" wrote in message ...

Why not save the letterhead as a template? Then you can go to file/new and
choose that template, without taking the chance of overwriting what you did the last time. "tony cox" wrote: I have my letterhead saved as a document file.

Thanks Ed
It works when I drag it to the toolbar but not with keystrokes. The toolbar is fine other than it put Normal.Macro.ltrhd which is pretty big icon, wish I could shorten it to LTRHD, if I can responde Thanks for your help Tony "Ed" wrote: Tony: Use the Macro Recorder to record your steps in opening this document.

While the Tools Customize dialog is open, right-click the toolbar
button and edit the entry in the Name box. There are pictures of this at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm For the keystrokes, see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...roToHotkey.htm -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Wed, 3 Aug 2005 17:38:02 -0700, "tony cox" wrote: Thanks Ed It works when I drag it to the toolbar but not with keystrokes.
