open word template and run autonew from c#

Question

Hi

I can open a .dot template from a hyperlink fine, but it opens read-only and does not run the autonew macro. Is there a setting or something obvious Im missing?

thanks

I'm pretty sure that's a security feature of Word to prevent macro viruses. You could this after the document has been created:

wordobj.Run("autonew");

However, if there are multiple macros loaded called "autonew", then you can't be sure it will run yours.
