How can I prevent Word from running macros automatically when I create a new instance of Word, open a Word document or create a new one?

If you are running a macro that opens (or creates) several files, the last thing you may want is for an AutoOpen (or AutoNew) macro to fire up each time. For this you can use:
WordBasic.DisableAutoMacros 1
'Disables auto macros
WordBasic.DisableAutoMacros 0 'Enables
auto macros
This command is also very useful when launching an instance of Word from another application, or from VB, when you will generally not want any AutoExec macros to fire.
