On the owner's computer, the guides.dot (our new template) has the macros
showing up, even if that person opens the actual template on the server, the
macros are there...but if I open the same file, they are not. It does seem
like the macros aren't really in that document, but then how do we "find"
them and transfer them to where they should be?

However, by some miracle, we started from scratch and sort of made them
work...though a bunch of of the key assignments go missing in the
translation...any sense of what that might be? We are setting this up for the
boss, who has worked in WP for 20 years, and has his macros that he can't
work without. We created them all, but now when he works at home, we don't
know how to make him able to just start up and start working, if the key
assignments keep dissappearing.

The security settings are all set to medium.
thanks!

Are you sure the macros are actually in the template and not in the

Do the other users have the macro security set to high?

We created a bunch of macros on a new template on a single-user
computer. Now, we need to share the template/macros. The template
appears to work fine on the computer where it was created. However,
when we send the file via email or put it on a network server, the
macros show up when the person who created the macros opens the file
on her computer...but when anyone else does, there are no macros
there! The file says that the template is the same, the
tools-templates/add ins folder says that the template is loaded and
it's looking in the right place, but there are no macros...what are
we missing? I'm sure it's something simple, we just are driving
ourselves NUTS with it! We changed the startup location and the
template location in tools-options-file locations to match on all of
the computers and still, nothing.
Anything anyone can think of that we are missing?
