Macro disappears
I have two online students who say that they're able to record a macro (to
insert a table) and add a button to the Quick Access bar. They say the macro works OK while they're creating it, and that their security settings are set to enable macros, but that when they open a different document or (one of them says) when pressing the button on the Quick Access bar, they get a message saying that the macro can't be found or has been disable due to security settings. The one who can't use the button on the Quick Access bar is able to use his keyboard shortcut keys at the time he records the macro, but then gets the macro can't be found message after that. They both say that they've double-checked their security settings and that everything there is set to enable the macro to run. I did not instruct them to make any changes to the location where the macro would be stored, so it should be stored with the Normal template. I've asked them if they made any changes to that, but haven't received any answers back yet. Any ideas what may be going on? Thanks! -- janchan |

Macro disappears
Hi,
If your students have added any templates, they may have saved a template in a location that is not trusted for all their documents. The information in the summary of the Word 2007 security settings that I have written on my Web site at http://www.makeofficework.com/word_macros_the_risk.htm might be helpful for locating the possible source of the problem. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "janchan" wrote: I have two online students who say that they're able to record a macro (to insert a table) and add a button to the Quick Access bar.

Thank you, Pesach! That makes sense because 1) only these two students are
having problems, and 2) I teach them how to create a template in the lesson immediately prior to this one (so these two may have added their macros to those templates). If I understand what you're saying correctly, if they save their templates to a Trusted location, they should be able to locate their macros. Is that correct? Thank you again. -- janchan "Pesach Shelnitz" wrote: Hi, If your students have added any templates, they may have saved a template in a location that is not trusted for all their documents.

Hi,
Yes, that is correct regarding Trusted locations, but also pay attention to the differences between the availability of macros saved in templates stored in the Word Startup folder, the Word Template folder, and the user Template folder when working in individual documents. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "janchan" wrote: Thank you, Pesach!
