Running Macros--Sometimes Can, Othertimes Can't
Word 2003--XP
When I record a macro in a blank (Normal.dot) template, I can run it just fine. But when I record that same macro in a template I've created and attempt to run it, I get an error message saying macros in this project are disabled. The security settings and everything I can think of matches between Normal.dot and my template. Can someone suggest another possible reason why this happens? Many thanx! Erik |

Running Macros--Sometimes Can, Othertimes Can't
Is the template in either the user templates folder (or sub folder of that
folder) or in the Word Startup Folder? If not, depending on your macro security, you should get a warning. The warning you are getting suggests you have macro security set to high. Change that to medium and you should be able to run the macros wherever you have saved the template - albeit with a warning message. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org erik_gregory wrote: Word 2003--XP When I record a macro in a blank (Normal.dot) template, I can run it just fine.

Thanx for responding. The template that won't run the macros is not in the
templates folder or the Word startup folder, but just another directory in My Documents. Setting the macros security setting to medium or low changes nothing--still get the error message. Please advise if you have any further followup with thanx. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Is the template in either the user templates folder (or sub folder of that folder) or in the Word Startup Folder?

Does it work if you move it to the user templates folder?
