New Macros don't appear on toolbar for all users
Hi-
I'm using Word 2003. I've written several macros, saved to the document (not normal.dot) and placed on the Standard toolbar assigned with a name (i.e. "abc", "7", "10"). When other users open the doc, they can see some, but not all these macros. Can someone pls. explain what might be causing this and how I can correct it? Could it be different settings in Word (each workstation here has Word loaded on c Also, I have another user assign an icon to the macro on the toolbar and this enabled other users to "see" the macro. However, when I tried to assign an icon to the macro (instead of the name), the users still were unable to "see" it on the toolbar. Lastly, if I placed the raw macro name (project.newmacro.macro2), the users could see it on the toolbar. It seems to just not like it when I rename the macro on the toolbar in any fashion. Any help you can provide to help me troubleshoot this will be appreciated! Thank you in advance for taking the time to reply. Shirley |

Chances are that some of your toolbar changes were saved to your normal.dot.
(The place for saving toolbars is independent of the location of the macros.) You are best off usually creating a custom toolbar to hold your buttons or menus in the template or document where you want them. -- See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. -- 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.

Thank you for your prompt reply!
I'll give what you suggested a try - creating a custom toolbar. Regards, Shirley "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Chances are that some of your toolbar changes were saved to your normal.dot.
