If you want the mail merge task pane to show when you start Word then you
need the following macros in normal.dot
If you don't want it to show, then you don't! If you get an error on
starting extend the time from "00:00:01" to "00:00:03"
to give Word time to open the start document.
Sub AutoExec()
Application.OnTime _
When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), Name:="MergePane"
End Sub
Sub MergePane()
Application.TaskPanes.Item(wdTaskPaneMailMerge).Vi sible = True
End Sub

Hi. I am kind of embarrassed asking this but..
I am asking about the mail merge wizard. It can be reached on the main
toolbar by going to TOOLS---LETTERS and MAILINGS--MAIL MERGE WIZARD.
When you click on it, it opens up the wizard. My question is how do
you have it open up automatically when you first open up Word? How
can I prevent it from opening up when I first open up Word? (I'm sure
this is easy but I can't figure it out. I've never had a reason to
use it)
