Default Word Automation - AutoNew Macro, Custom File Saves

See the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.

In an effort to automate my document, and not having to depend on the
user knowing which button to press, I am wishing my merge to go
automatically to a new document?

It was suggested to put code in an AUTONEW macro in my tempate. How do
I do this? Where would I find this autonew macro? I'm lost with VB
through Word. Excel is a bit easier.

Also, how can I have the new document save automatically with a file
name based on one of the merge fields of the new document?
