If you have saved these macros in the document template, then you need to be
creating a new document from the template in order to use them. You can
include an AutoNew macro to show your UserForm. When you double-click on a
..dot file, the default action is New, so you should be able to do this from
the desktop or Windows Explorer as well as from Word's File New dialog.
