I don't know anything about double monitor installations, though I cannot
imagine any mechanism involved that would cause saving a template to delete
a macro contained in that template.
If you need colour on your form, apply it with paragraph/character styles
from the outset.

Graham,
I took the file to the pc in question and the user had two monitors.
The Word document was on one and the button for the macro was on the
other. I was able to drag & drop the button to the form and it
worked for him. The only problem I have now is that when I try to
change the color of some of the text on the form and save the dot
file, the button disappears. If I unprotect the dot file and look at
the available macros, the addline macro is missing? Any idea what
I'm doing wrong now??
Thanks for the help.

I have replied, but for the benefit of anyone else interested, your
form works fine. If some users are having problems the likely
explanation is that the macro is disabled through Word's macro
security settings.

Zip up the template and mail it to my (corrected) e-mail address.

Hi Graham,
You are going to shoot me soon. The macro works great on my pc and
one of my co-worker's pc's. It doesn't work on all of them though.
I displayed all macros in my NORMAL template and it isn't there.
It is only in the Template project Ulinski. My VB Editor display
is as follows: + Normal (NORMAL)
+ TemplateProject (NewSpell)
+ TemplateProject (Rick1)
- TemplateProject (Ulinski)
- Microsoft Word Objects
ThisDocument
- Modules
AddLines
The properties windows shows Addlines Module and below that is has
(Name) Addlines. I deleted the old toolbar and added a new one
with the Addlines macro on it and still no luck with some of our
pc's.
Thanks again for all your help with this!

It seems you have your button pointing to the version in your
normal.dot. You will need to reassociate the button (replace it)
with the macro now in the template.

Graham,
I am continuing to struggle with this. I tried using the new
macro on one of my coworker's pc's and it couldn't find the
macro to run it. The tool bar popped up, but the macro didn't
run when I pressed it. I noticed that the macro shows up under
TemplateProject (NewRick) under Modules NewMacros.
Help!!!!

If you have done as you describe it should work as it stands.

I restored my NORMAL.DOT template to the version prior to the
addition of the addlines macro. I then keyed the new macro
and made it available to the new template only. Should this
work or do I have to create a module?
Thanks for your patience!!

Yes it should, but there again I don't know what you have
copied to that template from normal.dot when you were messing
with the Organiser,

Thanks Graham. Idiot's guide should work well for me! One
question, When I selected macros and chose only the
template I wanted, shouldn't that display only the macros
in that template and not the normal template?
Thanks again for the help!!!
I have created a new template and added a macro to it to
unprotect the form and insert additional lines. When I
open the template, the macro shows up under the template in
question (not just on the normal template). Does anyone
know why the macro won't work or display on other pc's? I
tried to use the organizer to copy from one template to
another without much success.
Thanks for the help!
