appending one rtf file to another

[Guest]

I have a macro that inserts file2.rtf at the end of file1.rtf, saves file1.rtf , and exits and if i call it this way at the command line or in a bat file it works.

<path to winword> /mcatfiles file1.rtf

but ONLY it seems if catfiles macro is in normal.dot

If I put it in another template and put that in my user startup folder the macro loads (its there when I look at tools/macros)
but it wont run when called as above. I would like to avoid altering normal.dot for all who might need this macro.

The purpose is to automate appending one rtf file to the end of another.
Environment is Word2000/Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
I have lowered security for macros.

Thanks in advance for any advice or comments you might be able to provide.

Place your macro in a document and distribute the document. Name the
macro AutoOpen. The users should create an icon for this specific
document; when they use the icon the document will open and the
macro will execute.

Otherwise, a template for the Startup folder is a possibility.
Create a toolbar that's *saved IN the template*. The user can then
use this toolbar to run your macro.

Thank you Cindy.

A followup question: any advice on how to make the macro inside the distributed document "trusted" so the end-user
don't have to run with lowered security. Thanks again
