Why does my Word automatically open last document?
Is it always the most recent document that gets opened? Or is it always the
SAME document? If it's always the same document, then someone has saved a document over Normal.dot. The solution is to delete Normal.dot so Word can create a new one. If it's always the most recent document, then it sounds either like someone has appended a macro to the shortcut that starts Word, or that an AutoExec macro is automatically re-loading the last-opened document. In the former case, the shortcut for Word would probably look something like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\WINWORD.EXE" /mfile1 Here, /m tells Word to run a macro, and "file1" is a built-in macro that opens the first file listed in the recent files list. Hence /mfile1 causes Word to automatically re-open the last-opened file. In the latter case, if you look at the macros available in Word, there would be one named AutoExec, and it would contain a command similar to "file1", or which, if different, accomplishes the same purpose. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "dslocum" wrote in message ... Word 2003 version. When a customer our mine opens their Word Application, it automatically opens the last Word Document that was open. Any ideas as to why? denny -- dslocum |

Herb, Thank you, everyone concerned has left for the day. I will check this ASAP in the morning. Thank you again, seems like the most logical answer; I'm speaking of the Normal.DOT being overwritten. denny -- dslocum |
