Pop Up Note in Word

Does anyone know of a way to: Have a pop-up note (comment?) appear when opening a specific WORD document. Then, the note would close. I am assuming that a macro would be used but I do not know how to create a note to pop up and close. Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrea,

You could display a message box when the document opens. Is something like that what you are looking for?

The macro would need to be placed in ThiDocument module and look something like:

Private Sub Document_Open()
‘Display message box with Information icon and Notice in title bar
MsgBox "Type message here", vbInformation, "Notice"
End Sub

If you need specific instructions:

- Press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
- In the Project Explorer locate your document
- Double-click ThisDocument
- Copy/paste the macro from this reply
- Modify the message inside of the quotes

Thank you Beth for the help. I apologize but I seem to be thick-headed with this. I pasted the macro into ThisDocument and saved my file titled "TEST". When I reopen the file, I do not see the message I typed into the macro. Perhaps I am missing a step. If you have any additional info, I would greatly appreciate your reply.

Hi Andrea,

You aren't being thick-headed. :-)

I suspect your macro security is set to High (or very High if using Word 2003) and it is preventing the macro from running.

Go to Tools/Options/Security and set your macro security to Medium (recommended) setting.

Thank you Beth. It works great now. Boy, I never would have figured that one out. WORD is not my area of expertise. EXCEL is what I work with the most.

Thanks a million. Have a great day.
