Is there a way to change the default pane that opens on startup from the
Startup Pane to the New Document Pane so that Word opens with your templates
available to you? We use a document management system so the Startup pane is
much less useful than the New File/templates pane would be.

Thanks!

Create the following macro

Sub FileNew()
Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show
End Sub
