Subject:      SAS MAC - MSWord normal.dot: Can use another?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

_ALL_;
 
We have a sas macro that initiates word
minimized, applies a couple of macros
to the specified file, and then closes
while minimized.
 
When word closes it overwrites the normal.dot
file.
 
Is there a way to specify a different normal.dot
file on the command line?
 
Thanks... John,
 
 
%Macro wordmin(file=, type= );
 
 data _null_;
  wmacro="start /m
          c:\msoffice\winword\winword.exe &file
          /mtables&type /mexitword";
  call system(wmacro);
 run;
 
%Mend wordmin;
