Templates saved as Documents
I work for an insurance company as a sort of Help Desk employee. Users
occasionally have problems with their computer and I help them if I can, or direct them to who can help them. Anyway, I received a question that I, nor anyone else in the company that I know of, could answer, so I'm hoping you can. What it comes down to is this. We have a variety of templates that contain macros that the users can create a document from. One of the users wanted to save the document created from the template, but keep the macros intact so she could edit it later if she needed to. However, she recieves a message stating that a document saved in 97-2003(we have 2003) would not save the macros. And sure enough, they didn't. Is there a way to save the document so that the macros still work? |

As long as the document is opened on a computer on which the template is
available, the macros will still work. If the user wants to transport the document to a different environment where the template is not available, she could copy the macros from the template to the document using the Organizer. -- Suzanne S.
