How do I copy new macros in Word 2002 from administrator to my wo.
I was unable to save new macros in my working log-on in Win XP Pro, so I
created and saved them under my administrator log-on with Visual Basic. How do I get them to show up under my normal log-on? Thanks, JHF (I am unable to access my Hotmail account) |

Hi
Macros are saved in templates (*.dot files). If you saved the macros in a specific template, just copy that template. However, if you didn't tell Word which .dot file to use when you created the macros, then they're saved in the Administrator's normal.dot. It's not a good move just to copy normal.dot from one user to another. So, log in as the Administrator. Use File New to create a new template. In the Visual Basic Editor, copy the modules containing the macros from normal.dot to the new template you've created. And then copy that template to the user's log-on. If you want the macros available whenever you start Word, log in as the user, and at Tools Options File Locations identify that user's startup folder. Copy the template with your macros there, and the template will be loaded every time you start Word.

As a followup to Shauna's response, take a look at
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. You can use this once you find the template you stored your macros in. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
