I have a small macro which I used in Word2003 which opens the new templates
in "list" view instead of the "large icons" view which seems to be the
default view in Word2007 as it was in Word 2003. I notice with the macro
that it seems to be quite slow compared with its use in Word2003, and also
it seems to open the new templates window in large icons view first, then
changes it into list view.

Does Word2007 handle macros in a different way to Word 2003 ? My little
macro is simple, just
SendKeys"%2"
Dialogs(wdDialogFileNew).Show
Is there a different approach I can use with Word2007 to get list view
automatically (instead of using a macro) ? Is there anything in Word2007
which makes macros run differently to Word2003 or are both versions of Word
basically the same ?

thanks ... Roger

The first time I can that code was not as fast as subsequent times that I
ran it, but it was still so fast that I will have to take you word for it
opening with large icons and then chaning to the small ones. That is, there
is a change in the display, but the initial display was displayed for such a
short time that I could not tell exactly what it was.
