Using "Launch Document" to open Word macros

[montymay]

I use WIndows. I want to run a Word 2010 template macro (a .dotm file) from LC by using the "launch document" command, but it won't work unless in my vba subroutine I set the triggering event to "document_open." But this opens the document as a .dotm file rather than a new document, a ".docx" file, as happens when in Windows Explorer I click on the icon of the file, the vba script of which reads "document_new." When I launch a template macro through LC and its script reads "document_new," the document opens but not the userform and the script does run. Hoping I stated my problem understandably, I write to ask whether anyone knows the solution or whether there is a solution. Thanks for any suggestions.

Error in third line. I meant to say "the script does not run."
