Try putting the code in Workbook_New rather then _open. This should solve
your problem

I currently have a Private Sub that is supposed to run on Workbook_Open. It

a template. I don't want the macros to run when I'm opening the template. I
only want them to run if I'm creating a new workbook using that template.
How do I tell it to run the macros depending on whether I'm opening the
template or creating a new workbook using the template?
