Are you using a template?

No, I am not using template.

What version of Word are you using?

The problem with a command button on the page is that when you email the document it will still contain the code and the button even if it's hidden.

It is best to run your code from a menu item and from within a template. That way, neither the menu ited or the code will go with the cloned document that you email.

A menu item, or a shortcut key, would eliminate having the button, if the purpose to execuet something but not have a button afterwards.

You do not state if this a a MACROBUTTON (field), or a ActiveX CommandButton (control).
