I would suggest that for help with a specific macro that you post the code
of the macro (that you can get using the visual basic editor) in the
vba.beginners newsgroup with information on what you are trying to
accomplish, what is happening, and which version(s) of Word you are working
with.
IMHO = in my humble opninion

Jay, awesome. Just what I needed. Thank you. I'll check that out when I
go
there. (Not certain what IMHO means, I may be a little out of the loop
with
acronyms.) Thank you so much for your input.
Also:
ANY ideas on why the Insert Page Number macro "erases" the header on the
letterhead? Thanks.

In some business networks where all documents must be "by the book", the
administrators have set up login scripts that write an official copy of
Normal.dot from the server onto the local drive every day, overwriting
the
existing one and wiping out any customizations the user may have made
during
the previous session. IMHO this is a nasty Big-Brother-ish substitute for
proper training of users, but it does happen.
The Organizer never shows the names of individual macros, only the names
of
the modules that contain them. "NewMacros" is the standard name Word uses
for the module that contains all recorded macros. To see the individual
macro names, you have to use the Tools Macro Macros dialog, or open
the
VBA editor and look in the Project Explorer pane, expanding the icons
until
you can double-click the NewMacros icon and see the macro code in the
editing pane.

Suzanne, thank you so much for your response. By overwritten, do you
mean by another Template/Add In? And why don't the macros I create
list in the Organizer so I can copy, etc. them?

Macros are stored in Normal.dot by default, and unless you
explicitly create a new module, they're created in NewMacros. If
macros are being lost, it could be because Normal.dot is not being
saved or is being overwritten.

These questions may be connected (new installation of Word 2K3/XP
on all workstations at location):
1. Writing very simple macros (change printer bins, add page
numbering, etc.) work until Word is shut down then never work again;
2. When macro inserts page numbering, header disappears and returns
when page numbering turned off; and,
3. The Organizer for "normal.dot (global template)" shows no macros
created
- only New Macros so I can't copy them. I tried creating macros
in the normal.dot itself and on a blank page and get the same
result in the organizer.
I'm not certain if this is one question or two (or three). If I
need to repost, I can. I have turned the Security level to Low on
each workstation and I have read everything suggested by MVPs and
other techs in previous macro posts but, so far, to no avail. Does
2003 work differently with macros? Please, any suggestions as to
why the macros aren't working. These are the same macros I have
created for many other offices in other versions of Word and they
work just fine - very simple. Please help. Thank you so much, in
advance.
