You can set up a timer class that is enabled when the document is opened, then poll for instance of this document and run your code and disable the timer when the instance ceases to exist.

example: ABC.doc
lcdocname="ABC"
&& Declare API function
DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN Win32API;
STRING @lpClassName, ;
STRING @lpWindowName
lcApplicationTitle =lcdocname+ " - Microsoft Word"
x = FindWindow(0, @lcApplicationTitle)
if x=0 && application is closed ... no handle
&& do your code and disable timer
endif
x also equals th numeric handle for the window ... you can use macro expansions here
