Macros and autotext not working correctly
Using Word 2003 and had macros and autotext when converted over to Office
2003 which worked well. Now when I create a new macro, it works while I have Word open after creating it but when I close Word and reopen the macro is not longer there and the toolbar button disappears. I'm stumped. Help please...I also use Word as my email editor---would that make a difference? |

Using Word as your email editor does make a (bad) difference.
Macros and toolbar changes are stored in normal.dot by default. Email may be using a different template to start Word. You may not be saving the changes to normal.dot when you close. If you store your changes in a different global template, they will stick.
