Default Paths in templates

Simply save one macro and its corresponding button in each template.
Do NOT save any of them in normal.dot. Then each macro will be
available only in documents based on that specific template, and only
that button will be added to the toolbar.

Jay,

Thanks, but that means I need a whole row of macro buttons, one for each
form that goes in a different folder. Is there a way to attach the macro to
the template so the right button shows up only when the template is
selected?

Regards, Dave

You need a macro that sets the folder for the Save As dialog, as shown
at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...SaveAsPath.htm. If
you name the macro FileSaveAs, it will intercept the built-in command
(see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...SavePrint.htm).

have several templates that are forms and the filled-in versions always

to go to the same place. I'd like not to have to go through directory
trees
every time to get there.

Thanks, Dave
