Locking Macros to Template to allow spell check in forms
I have followed all the procedures required to allow spell check in forms
using the method described in: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm I even have a nifty little toolbar button identical to the spellcheck icon that activates it. When I send the form to others to use, however, the button does not work for them. The macro is missing. Is this because somehow I am not saving the macro to the template? If so, how do I fix this? -- Lori |

Are you sending the template or a document based on the template?
Where did you store the macro? You can find it using the vba editor (Alt-F11). -- 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.

I'm pretty sure I have the macro and the toolbar assigned to the template.
The problem is when I send the template (by email attachment, for instance) and the receiver opens the attachment, a new document "Document1" is created. The toolbar shows up, but when they press the spell check button on the new toolbar the macro can't be found. I've made sure that it has nothing to do with macro security settings. When I unlock the document and view macros, the macro I created is found under the template but not the new document created by the template. Hope this makes sense. -- Lori "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Are you sending the template or a document based on the template? Where did you store the macro?

They will want to be saving your template to their user templates folder and
creating the new document from there. It is likely that they have macro security set to "high." -- 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.

Is this really the only way? We're trying to put forms on our server that
are accessible to all employees and if they're required to copy and paste them into their template directory it will defeat the purpose of ensuring the employees are always using the latest/greatest version. -- Lori "Charles Kenyon" wrote: They will want to be saving your template to their user templates folder and creating the new document from there.

Put the forms in a workgroup templates folder rather than sending to
everyone. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. -- 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.
