Hi Suzanne,

My diagnosis, which may be off, is that the macros are currently stored in
an Add-In. That is the only way I know to have operational macros that don't
show up in the vb editor or the organizer. So the template needs to be moved
from the Startup folder on the old computer to the new computer.

I have a computer running Word 2000. I have a new computer running Word
2003. I have a couple of Word macros that I need to move to the new
computer. I have already looked through old messages and have looked at
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm but still
cannot figure out how to move the macros to my new computer. When I open
Word 2000, my computer does not behave the way that it should according
to
the addbalance site. Using the Organizer button doesn't show my macros;
using the VBA Editor doesnt' show any macros either, yet they are there
and
run when I use them.

I have tried to simply copy the .dot file over to the new computer but I
put
it in the subdirectory that Word looks in for templates but it does not
see
it there.

Any help?

Ah, okay, I got in on this late. In either case, I suspect that Kathryn is
putting them in the folder reserved for Word's own installed templates
rather than either the User Templates or the Startup folder.

Please explain to me how to find the user template folder. Word doesn't seem
to want to tell me. I have gone into tools/options/file locations/user
templates and when I put the template into that folder word doesn't see it.
Also, when I made a test macro it shows up when I try to run it but it is not

That folder is hidden in Windows XP. You must set the Windows Folder Options
to show hidden files and folders in order to see it.

If all you are trying to access is the macros in a template, if you put that
template (which should _not_ be named normal.dot) in the folder designated
as Word's startup folder in Tools Options File Locations, you will be
able to access the macros, assuming that you have your macro security set to
trust projects in that folder.

Unless you name a new module, all macros saved in Normal.dot are saved in

So, I have macros that I cannot copy into the normal.dot then because on my
old computer they don't show up like they are supposed to, which means I
can't use them.

I downloaded a completely separate template. Please tell me how to put that
downloaded template into normal.dot so I can use it. I saved it to where
word told me templates go but when I try to run it it does not show up. The
only things that show up there are the 2 or 3 test macros that I made.

I am completely lost and cannot find any documentation that explains this in
layman's terms.

When I made these macros, I followed directions from a Word user's group.
I
stored them wherever it is that Word defaulted to. Is there not a simple
way
to find a file and copy it to disk and then put it where it needs to be on
the new computer? I've been able to do that with all other files.

Hi Suzanne,

My diagnosis, which may be off, is that the macros are currently stored
in
an Add-In. That is the only way I know to have operational macros that
don't
show up in the vb editor or the organizer. So the template needs to be
moved
from the Startup folder on the old computer to the new computer.

Make sure you are saving the file to the folder specified for "User

I have a computer running Word 2000. I have a new computer running
Word
2003. I have a couple of Word macros that I need to move to the new
computer. I have already looked through old messages and have looked
at
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm but
still
cannot figure out how to move the macros to my new computer. When I
open
Word 2000, my computer does not behave the way that it should
according
to
the addbalance site. Using the Organizer button doesn't show my
macros;
using the VBA Editor doesnt' show any macros either, yet they are
there
and
run when I use them.

I have tried to simply copy the .dot file over to the new computer
but I
put
it in the subdirectory that Word looks in for templates but it does
not
see
it there.

Any help?

The macros are saved in Normal.dot. You can open the NewMacros module in
Normal.dot and, if you like, copy one or more macros to a new module or
project.

So, I have macros that I cannot copy into the normal.dot then because on
my
old computer they don't show up like they are supposed to, which means I
can't use them.

I downloaded a completely separate template. Please tell me how to put
that
downloaded template into normal.dot so I can use it. I saved it to where
word told me templates go but when I try to run it it does not show up.
The
only things that show up there are the 2 or 3 test macros that I made.

I am completely lost and cannot find any documentation that explains this
in
layman's terms.

No, no, no. This is a macro I downloaded. Word does not see it. I can not
find out where to put it so that word will see it!!!! It IS on my computer
but Word does not see it as a template even tho I saved it to the directory
that Word says templates should be in. The NewMacros module does not see it
so I cannot copy it to normal.dot. How do I get Word to see it so I can
open/run it as a template?

How you handle this depends on whether the template is intended to be a
document template or a global template. If it is a document template and you
have stored it in the User Templates folder, then you should be able to
create new documents based on the template, and the macro will be available
to those documents.

If it is intended to be global (the macro should be available to all
documents), then you need to put the downloaded template in your Startup
folder. Both this and the previous suggestion depend on the file being an
actual Word template (.dot file).

Alternatively, you can open the template itself, then open the VBA Editor,
copy the macro, and paste it into a module in Normal.dot.
