I am also using this approach which works fine for me too.  There are a couple
of other things worth noting.
    
  o You may want to add the /m option (don't execute AutoExec macro) after
    your winword.exe definition in the [Extensions] section of win.ini. 
    Otherwise, if you ever happen to select a document from filemgr that isn't
    in your DOCS directory Winword won't be able to find it, since it will
    execute the chdir command in your AutoExec macro before it attempts to open
    the .DOC file you selected from filemgr.

  o I have added a custom win.ini keyword to my [Microsoft Word] section called
    DOC-PATH (in the spirit of DOT-PATH, defined by MS) which defines where my
    Document directory is.  Then in my AutoExec macro I request this keyword 
    using the command "GetProfileString$()".

  o Another macro I have added is SetStartupPrefs which permits me to set the
    DOC-PATH and DOT-PATH variables in my win.ini file using the command
    "SetProfileString$()".
