Hello,
I have a word document containing macros which run automatically when I
launch the document. Specifically, the macro displays a userform which
prompts the user to enter data that will go into the word file but saves a
copy of this word file with the changes. The original file is untouched. So
far so good.

Here is my dilemma: I do not want the macro to run each time I open the
copy of the original file. I found WordBasic.DisableAutoMacros at the
following link but do not know how or where to use it. Can I use this
command to disable auto-open macros from copies but keep the auto-open macros
enabled in the original file? Thanks.
