Word 2010 - Template prompts ASK Field issues

Hi

I have created a Word 2010 Macro Enabled Template with "Ask Fields" and "Ref Fields" so the user is prompted to fill these in once the document is opened. In the template when you open it by right clicking and selecting "Open" the following macro runs:

Sub autoopen()

ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

End Sub

I have built in some auto text capabilities to this template. However when I open a new document from the template by clicking and selecting "New" when you right click the template or by double clicking it the macro isn't transferred and doesn't run.

Is there a way to make the Update fields macro run when a new document is created from the template?

Many Thanks in advance
