Associating outside files with a specific WORD template
I have a vendor-supplied package which creates text files with the extension
".dmp". When anyone on our company gets one of these files, I want Word to open it, and I want some manipulation to occur (change font, margins, etc.) I know how to use macros or VBA to make the changes happen, but how do I get the Macro (or VBA) onto everyone's computer so that it runs on this file type? If the ".dmp" file were created with Word it would be easy, but it is created in a vendor application so I can't control the "template" it is associated with. The I.T. folks won't let me mess with Normal.dot (and I agree with them). Is there any way to associate any ".dmp" files with a special template (with my VBA in it). Thanks. Dave |

It appears that you're asking two questions here...one to get your
code to your users...the other is a VBA question and/or Assocation question. First...post your VBA question to the Word VBA group on this server. As for how to share your code with your users, this TechTrax article will provide some insight. Sharing Macros http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=166 Good luck... Dian D.
