subject: AUTO RUN MACRO

Thanks for the info on DOT/DOC and macros.  I have been trying to figure out 
a problem for some time now, the autorun/autoopen string all started because 
of it.  Perhaps if I restate my problem may be you or someone else out there 
can help.
I am trying to figure out how to get a specific macro to run automaticly when 
I open a specific file.  In WordPerfect 5.1 for dos it was easy, you just 
make a batch file or type at the dos prompt "WP  /M-".  
Where WP is the .EXE program and /M is the switch telling it to run the macro 
at startup.  I have figured out that with Word I can use and Icon inplace of 
a macro, but I have yet to figure out what the command line switch is to tell 
the program to run a macro upon starting.  Is it -m ?  Or is it 
/macro:? Or what?  I tried naming the macro autoopen (contrary to popular 
belief, Auto_Open does not work but AUTOOPEN does), but this makes the macro 
run when I open any file at startup.  
Can you tell me what command line switch is to run a specific macro?
