To intercept any Word command, you can:

1.

Press Alt+ F8 to bring up the Macros dialog and where it says “Macros in”, select “Word Commands”.

2.

Find and select one of the commands you want to intercept – for instance, to intercept the Print commands you need to find FilePrint and FilePrintDefault. To intercept the Save commands you need to find FileSave, FileSaveAs and FileSaveAll

3.

Where it says “Macros in”, select the template you want to store the macro in, and click “Create”.

4.

The code needed to execute the command will be written for you; just add your own code.

Answer 4

The command is WindowSelectionChange
