Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
I have a word document I believe was created in 2003 (dot); which has a bunch
of icons under the add-ins tab like H1; which I assume means header 1. This document was sent to another individual who has 2007 and not sure what was done to it but when I open it in 2007 I do not even have the Add-in tab. So my question is how do I get that add-in tab and transfer those icons from the one version to 2007? Funny thing, when I open up the one that I think was created in 2003 in my 2007 version I see the add-in, but when I open up the version that was messed with I don't see any of that. I hope this make since. I do not see a place to upload the document to show you. Thanks |

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
Word 2007 uses the Add-Ins tab to display custom toolbars created in earlier
versions of Word. Note that toolbars can be in a document or in an associated template. If they are in the template you need the template file to see the Add-Ins tab when you open the document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "sheila4typing" wrote in message ...

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
Thank you Stefan,
I do have the file with the Add-in tabs (dot file). I also have the one without (dotx file) the tab. My assumptions is the original person opened up the dot file, made changes and then did a file save as; which made it a dotx file. When I open the docx file I get a dialog box that says The macros in this project are disabled. Then I have to click OK not sure how to turn that off or if it is needed. The dotx file does not do that. Since the dotx has changes that is the one I need the add-in tab on and the icon that are on the dot file associted with it.

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
I guess the dotx file is the template since that is the one that has
corrections to it correct? I think the templates folder is D:\Documents and Settings\e183540\Templates; which is where I placed the dotx; which is not the one that has the add-in bar, correct?

More importantly, note that *.docx and *.dotx files are always macro-free,
which means that you cannot use them with toolbars that depend on macros. Although I am sure that your intended meaning here is correct, the meaning that comes through may be misleading. It is certainly true that *.docx and *.dotx files cannot contain toolbars that depend on macros, but they can certainly *use* macros in Normal.dotm or any other *.doc, *.dot, or *.dotm file loaded as an add-in or attached template. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
You cannot store macros in a dotx template nor a docx document.
If you are using Word 2007 formats, for the macros to work they must be in a dotm template or a docm document. For a dot or dotm template to be used as an add-in, it should be installed in the Word startup folder which by default is at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP Copy that to the Explorer address bar. To create new documents from a macro enabled template dot or dotm, the template must be in a trusted location for the macros to work.

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
Thank you Graham.
Here is what happened. I took the dot file and saved it as dotm and put a check in the Maintain word compatibility with word 97-2003 because I believe people at work are still using 2003. I copies the dotm file to this location D:\Documents and Settings\e183540\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP; however when I open the document I do not see the add-in tab; whereas I did before if I had it on my desktop.

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
Word 2003 cannot use dotm templates and dotm templates cannot store
toolbars. There are no toolbars in Word 2007. However Word 2007 can use dot format. If you want compatibility with both versions, use DOT. You will need to re-edit the template in 2003 and save as DOT to ensure that the toolbar is available http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm Alternatively you can forget all about Word 2003 compatibility and create a ribbon entry in a DOTM template to run your macros. http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org sheila4typing wrote: Thank you Graham.

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
Graham,
Sorry if I am a little slow at this; however 2007 is new to me. OK, lets forget about the 2003 version then. I did not follow your exact instruction, actually by mistaken and it appears to be working, so I am a little confused. Explain this to me. I took the dot file; which had the add-in tab when I received the file and dropped it into D:\Documents and Settings\e183540\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Word\ST ARTUP. Opened it up and it appears to be working. Then I took the other file, remaned it a dot; which is the updated file that when I open on my desktop did not have the add-in. I dropped the file in the same location as the other and it now has the Add-in and appears to be working. Maybe they were both done in 2007, I really don't know since I did not do either of these files. You were saying to make it a dotm file to be able to run the Macros; which I assume is the icons in the Add-in Tab? "Graham Mayor" wrote: Word 2003 cannot use dotm templates and dotm templates cannot store toolbars. There are no toolbars in Word 2007. However Word 2007 can use dot format.

If you are using Word 2007 formats, for the macros to work they must be in a dotm template or a docm document. For a dot or dotm template to be used as an add-in, it should be installed in the Word startup folder which by default is at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP Copy that to the Explorer address bar. To create new documents from a macro enabled template dot or dotm, the template must be in a trusted location for the macros to work.

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar

Graham, Sorry if I am a little slow at this; however 2007 is new to me. OK, lets forget about the 2003 version then. I did not follow your exact instruction, actually by mistaken and it appears to be working, so I am a little confused. Explain this to me. I took the dot file; which had the add-in tab when I received the file and dropped it into D:\Documents and Settings\e183540\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Word\ST ARTUP. Opened it up and it appears to be working. Then I took the other file, remaned it a dot; which is the updated file that when I open on my desktop did not have the add-in. I dropped the file in the same location as the other and it now has the Add-in and appears to be working. Maybe they were both done in 2007, I really don't know since I did not do either of these files. You were saying to make it a dotm file to be able to run the Macros; which I assume is the icons in the Add-in Tab? No that is not what I am saying. The dot files will work as supplied without modification (on both Word 2003 and 2007) - which is what you appear to have done so far - provided that the macros they contain are compatible with 2007. Any custom toolbars contained in those templates will appear on the add-ins tab - http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm . If you modify the templates in Word 2007 and save them as DOTM format, you will probably lose the toolbar commands (as there are no toolbars in Word 2007) and you would have to edit the ribbon to replace them. Renaming a dot file as dotm or vice versa does not change its format. You would have to save it as dot or dotm to do that. As you have it working with the templates in DOT format. Leave it alone. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

Word 2003/2007 Add in tool bar
Good point. I meant to say that you cannot *store* macros in the files I
mentioned. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... More importantly, note that *.docx and *.dotx files are always macro-free, which means that you cannot use them with toolbars that depend on macros. Although I am sure that your intended meaning here is correct, the meaning that comes through may be misleading. It is certainly true that *.docx and *.dotx files cannot contain toolbars that depend on macros, but they can certainly *use* macros in Normal.dotm or any other *.doc, *.dot, or *.dotm file loaded as an add-in or attached template. -- Suzanne S.
