Word VBA >> How to detect the time MS-Word was launched

by technologymd » Fri, 16 Jul 2004 11:55:58 GMT

Hello All

I am trying to write a macro that will tell me how long have I been
working with MS-Word.

I know how to add the time to a text file via Open and Append, but I
can't seem to find any hookup for when word starts. I have
accomplished the time stamp for when I save the document, or for when
I close the document. But I need to know the time I started MS-Word 97
to 2003.

I tied to use the AutoOpen, but it did not work. It does run when I
open a new document, but not for the document that comes up when you
start Word.

I am thinking that the Normal.DOT template should have the AutoOpen,
but it still does not work.

Any suggestion on:

How to capture the time that MS-Word is 97-2003 was launched

Thanks a lot.

AutoExec is the macro name you want. This runs when the template containing
it is loaded. For normal.dot, this means when Word starts.
