Thanks to all for your input, but especially to Blue Hornet. His method
worked perfectly. Again, thanks very much.

Word 2003, I would like to have certain files open up automatically on

for other Office 2003 apps?


This is the easiest thing in the world, using your Operating System.
I'm presuming that you have Windows installed. I don't know how XP
handles this, but in Win2K, go to Start / Programs / Accessories /
System Tools / Scheduled Tasks and add a new task to open the specified
file at a particular date and time. You can make it one-time-only or
repetitive, as you wish.

One caveat: You may need to have Administrator rights to your computer
(which isn't always the case on a corporate system).
