The macros are saved in Normal.dot. You can open the NewMacros module in
Normal.dot and, if you like, copy one or more macros to a new module or
project.

So, I have macros that I cannot copy into the normal.dot then because on
my
old computer they don't show up like they are supposed to, which means I
can't use them.

I downloaded a completely separate template. Please tell me how to put
that
downloaded template into normal.dot so I can use it. I saved it to where
word told me templates go but when I try to run it it does not show up.
The
only things that show up there are the 2 or 3 test macros that I made.

I am completely lost and cannot find any documentation that explains this
in
layman's terms.

Unless you name a new module, all macros saved in Normal.dot are saved

When I made these macros, I followed directions from a Word user's
group.
I
stored them wherever it is that Word defaulted to. Is there not a
simple
way
to find a file and copy it to disk and then put it where it needs to
be on
the new computer? I've been able to do that with all other files.

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?
