Ah, having it in one line seems to be the problem. I changed the ` for a ', as
the command didn't work when spreading it on two lines, but that resulted in
Word opening spaced documents separately. Now that I changed back the ' for a `
and put everything on one line, everuthing seems to work fine. Thanks!
