microsoft.public.word.vba.general

Thank you Graham. Within minutes of posting (which had been after hours of
trying), I figured out the problem was an issue with the menu bar item DM. I
modified the Menu Bar to add a "from file" selection, and created the macro,
which did then create properly. In the end, it did look suspiciously like
your suggestion here. Thanks again for your help :)
