Right, but since the command resulted in opening the template, instead
of creating a new document from the template, I had to rename it to
AutoOpen.
I don't mind Word not to create a new document, but I do mind the fact
that I cannot close Word from one of the macro's.  I also do mind that
toolbars disappear when I open another document.
PS.  I won't dump the macro's in here, unless you want me to, for they
are quite lenghty (7 pages A4).
