MORE INFORMATION

Create the macro using the following steps:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Macro.
2. In the Macro Name text box, type AutoExec, AutoOpen, or AutoNew.
3. Choose the Create button.
4. Type the DocMaximize command between the Sub MAIN and End Sub lines as it appears below:

      Sub MAIN

5. Save and close the macro.

To test the AutoExec macro, quit and restart Word. To test the AutoNew macro create a new document. To test the AutoOpen macro, open a document.

Word recognizes five automatic macros (named AutoExec, AutoClose, AutoNew, AutoOpen, and AutoExit). They are designed to run automatically as follows:

Macro name                          When it runs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

AutoExec                            When you start Word
AutoNew                             Each time you create a new document
AutoOpen                            Each time you open a document
AutoClose                           Each time you close a document
AutoExit                            When you quit Word
				

NOTE: When you use one of the automatic macros, you must specify the special "auto" macro name.
