Glitch in .dot forms with a macro when saving as docx.
Ive found a strange glitch when opening a .dot file that contain a Macro and
then saving the form as a .docx file. I've created a number of documents that are locked for form fields, are password protected, and are saved as a .dot file as not all of the people who fill out the forms are using Office 07 yet. The documents are uploaded to a web page for people to download, fill out, and then e-mail back to my organization. The forms include a macro that allows you to run spell check as I received numerous complains a few years ago about not being able to run spell check with forms that are locked for form fields, so implementing a spell check macro was the solution. The macro unprotects the document, runs spell check, and then reprotects the document. What is happening is opening the form in Office 07 and saving it as the Office 07 .docx format, all the text in the entire document becomes right aligned. This problem only occurs when there is a macro in the .dot file. If the file doesnt contain a macro, saving it as a .docx file doesnt change the text alignment. Other than asking users to save the form as a .doc file, is there another way to prevent this problem from occurring? |
