Word 2016 Using Sendkeys in Autoopen

I would like to send a string to a word document when it opens.
But, sendkeys does not seem to work.
Here is my code.
Sub AutoOpen()
Application.GoBack
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=10
Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=10
Call NavPaneSearch
SendKeys "Hi Mom"
End Sub
This should send "Hi Mom" to the newly open document, but it doesn't do it.
What will make this work?
Thanks!

Actually, I need to send a ctrl+key sequence.
But, I thought if I could get the text going, then I could try the ctrl+key.
Let me try that.
Yes, that works.
Searching docs now to see if I can send a Ctrl+key sequence.
