If all you are trying to access is the macros in a template, if you put that
template (which should _not_ be named normal.dot) in the folder designated
as Word's startup folder in Tools Options File Locations, you will be
able to access the macros, assuming that you have your macro security set to
trust projects in that folder.

I do have it set to show hidden folders. *WORD* does not see the macro I
copied into the folder where word tells me templates should be.

That folder is hidden in Windows XP. You must set the Windows Folder
Options
to show hidden files and folders in order to see it.

Please explain to me how to find the user template folder. Word
doesn't
seem
to want to tell me. I have gone into tools/options/file locations/user
templates and when I put the template into that folder word doesn't see
it.
Also, when I made a test macro it shows up when I try to run it but it
is
not
in the folder I see when I check the tools/options/file locations/user
templates.

Ah, okay, I got in on this late. In either case, I suspect that
Kathryn
is
putting them in the folder reserved for Word's own installed
templates
rather than either the User Templates or the Startup folder.

Hi Suzanne,
My diagnosis, which may be off, is that the macros are currently
stored in
an Add-In. That is the only way I know to have operational macros
that
don't
show up in the vb editor or the organizer. So the template needs to
be
moved
from the Startup folder on the old computer to the new computer.

Make sure you are saving the file to the folder specified for
"User
templates" on the File Locations tab of Tools | Options.

I have a computer running Word 2000. I have a new computer
running
Word
2003. I have a couple of Word macros that I need to move to the
new
computer. I have already looked through old messages and have
looked
at
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm
but
still
cannot figure out how to move the macros to my new computer.
When
I
open
Word 2000, my computer does not behave the way that it should
according
to
the addbalance site. Using the Organizer button doesn't show my
macros;
using the VBA Editor doesnt' show any macros either, yet they
are
there
and
run when I use them.
I have tried to simply copy the .dot file over to the new
computer
but
I
put
it in the subdirectory that Word looks in for templates but it
does
not
see
it there.
Any help?
