See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for instructions about putting a macro in place in the Normal.dot template. Change the path and file names to the ones you're using. Sub AutoExec() Documents.Open "C:\docs\MyDoc1.doc" Documents.Open "C:\docs\MyDoc2.doc" Documents.Open "C:\docs\MyDoc3.doc" Documents.Open "C:\docs\MyDoc4.doc" End Sub If you name the macro AutoExec as shown here, it will run every time you run Word -- even if you double-click a different document in Explorer. Probably a better idea is to name the macro something else, such as Open4docs (just replace the word AutoExec in the first line). Then create a new shortcut to Word on your desktop, open the shortcut's Properties dialog, put the cursor at the end of the stuff in the Target box, and type a space character followed by /mOpen4docs (the /m means "run the macro in the Normal.dot template with the name that follows"). Remember, there needs to be a space before the / but no space after the m. When you want the four documents, use this shortcut; for other documents, use the original shortcut. A non-macro solution, which isn't automatic but is pretty easy to use, is the Work menu. For that, see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WorkMenu.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Create the following macro (changing the file details as appropriate)
Sub OpenMyDocs() Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Path\Doc4.doc" Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Path\Doc3.doc" Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Path\Doc2.doc" Documents.Open FileName:="C:\Path\Doc1.doc" End Sub Then add a shortcut to the desktop to call this macro ie for Word 2003 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" /mOpenMyDocs http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Thomas wrote: I pull up the same saved documents everyday.
