A way to pre-load Word macros into memory when Word starts

[pschroeter]

Is there a way to pre-load Word macros into memory when Word starts? I’m trying to avoid the slight pause I get when I use a macro for the first time after I startup Word. After I use any macro the first time, they seem to run instantly for the rest of the session.
It’s only a slight annoyance, but I am sure there must be something simple I can do with an AutoExec macro or something else. I’m using Word 2003.

Try putting the following into the module in Normal.dot

Code: Select all

Sub autoexec()
main:
    StatusBar = "ready ..."
End Sub

From what I’ve figured out, StatusBar is the Word Basic equivalent of Basic’s Print command, so the trick is to give AutoExec something benign to do, forcing Word to load all of the macros.
