macros
not sure is this is the right group to post to, but didn't know where else to
try. I need to copy a macro from my machine to others. I was going to create a document based on my normal and copy it to the other machine where the macro needs to be and then use the organizer to copy it, but when I go into the organizer, the only macros that appear under my normal.dot is NewMacros. Can anyone shed any light on this. I have created many macros that all appear when I go to Tools, Macros, and then run them, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. As always, thanks for the help. I am running Word 2003. |

The macros you create (especially with the macro recorder) are stored by
default in the New Macros module. If you want to separate out one macro to make it available to the organizer, then you need to open the vba editor and create a new module and move the macro code into it. You can, however copy the macro to the (open) document directly within the vba editor. If you want to share a macro, the simplest plan is to save it in a global template then make that template available to your users. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Sue wrote: not sure is this is the right group to post to, but didn't know where else to try.

I will try that, great idea. Do you know if there are any known
compatibility issues between macros created in word 2003, running on word 2000?

Nothing major - I would cross that bridge if you get to it.
