Word macros (Word 2003)

A macro that worked well in Word 97 is now completely ignored in this version.

The macro finds a specific bookmark and then moves the cursor to that position on opening or on creating a new document based on the template. What do I need to change?

Private Sub Document_New()
‘
‘ BioStart Macro
‘
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=”BioStart”
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
.DefaultSorting = wdSortByName
.ShowHidden = False
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Document_Open()
‘
‘ BioStart Macro

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:=”BioStart”
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
.DefaultSorting = wdSortByName
.ShowHidden = False
End With
End Sub

Thanks

Could it be macro security settings?

Are you launching the document from a web page rather than a normal disk drive?

Although macro setting is set to high, I’ve set myself up as a trusted publisher.

Not working from a web page.

Anything else?

Try setting macro security to Medium temporarily to see if it works then. I don’t see anything wrong with the code per se.

(The code *must* be in ThisDocument, it will *not* work from a standard module)
