Document in Word Startup folder doesn't open when Word 14 (Office Home and Student 2010) starts

Hello,

This forum is a user-to-user support forum. My name is Charles and I am a fellow user with decades of experience using Microsoft Word. I have written extensively on using Word and have authored help articles on the Microsoft site.

That is not the purpose of the Word Startup Folder. Here is my page on that folder:

Placing a template, not a document, in the Startup Folder loads it as a Global Template, making that template's resources available when you are using Word.

Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

If you want to open a particular document when you start Word the simplest thing is to put a shortcut to the document on your desktop and use that to start Word.

Otherwise, you could record a macro named AutoExec that opens the document.

I hope this information helps.

I like to also provide this link about Ransomware even though it has nothing to do with your question:
