To Run a Word Macro recorded in 2000 in latest versions of Word

Question

Hello All,
I have recorded a macro in word 2000 and calling that macro through Jacob 1.11 in my Java Swing application. That works fine for word 2000. I just want to use that same macro in Word Xp and for latest versions of Word. The problem is it is not invoking the macro in Word XP. But internally it is functionaning. I want to open it whenever the Word is opened.
I have placed the macro other than in Normal.dot file and trying to open it. It opens in word 2000 as i said but not in XP and latest versions. Please refer the following code and help me....
thanks in advance
import java.io.File;
import com.jacob.activeX.ActiveXComponent;
import com.jacob.com.Dispatch;
import com.jacob.com.Variant;
public class WordEventTest
     public WordEventTest()
               try
                    File wordFileName = new File("C:"+File.separator+"example5.rtf");
               String strWordFile = wordFileName.toString();
                    String secondFile = "C:" + File.separator+"example1.rtf";
                    ActiveXComponent wordDocuments = new ActiveXComponent("Word.Application");
                    wordDocuments.setProperty("Visible", new Variant(true));
                    Dispatch documents = Dispatch.get(wordDocuments, "Documents").toDispatch();
                    Dispatch openDocuments = Dispatch.call(documents, "Open", new Variant(strWordFile)).toDispatch();
                    Dispatch.call(openDocuments, "SaveAs", new Variant(secondFile), new Variant(6));
                    wordDocuments.setProperty("Visible", new Variant(false));
                    Dispatch copiedDocument = Dispatch.call(documents, "Open", new Variant(secondFile)).toDispatch();
                    Dispatch.call(wordDocuments, "Run", new Variant("iMedXGrading.NewMacros.Grading"));
                    Dispatch oldDocuments = Dispatch.call(documents, "Open", new Variant(secondFile)).toDispatch();
               }catch(Exception e)
                    e.printStackTrace();
     public static void main(String args[])
          WordEventTest wordTest = new WordEventTest();
}

Hi All,
While doing the same I am facing an issue.
Actually I am getting the exception
com.jacob.com.ComFailException: A COM exception has been encountered:
At Invoke of: Documents
Description: An unknown COM error has occured.
     at com.jacob.com.Dispatch.invokev(Native Method)
     at com.jacob.com.Dispatch.get(Dispatch.java)
     at WordEventTest.<init>(WordEventTest.java:24)
     at WordEventTest.main(WordEventTest.java:47)
where line 24 marked as"Dispatch documents = Dispatch.get(wordDocuments, "Documents").toDispatch();"
and the line 47 is as"WordEventTest wordTest = new WordEventTest();"
any suggestion to remove the exception.
Thanks
