Copy macros from Normal.dot to another template for distribution
We need to distribute the spell checking macro and toolbar to users in other
areas of the company. The macro shows up under all active Templates and the Normal.dot template, but when I try to use the organizer to copy it from Normal.dot to another template, the macro doesn't show up. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Ken K. -- akkrug |

Copy macros from Normal.dot to another template for distribution
The organiser only shows macro project items - if you have not made any
changes yours will be in the NewMacros project (along with any others you have created). To separate it out you need to create a new project and move the macro to it using the macro editor, or if you have the template open for editing, you could move or copy it to the new template project directly. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org akkrug wrote: We need to distribute the spell checking macro and toolbar to users in other areas of the company.

Copy macros from Normal.dot to another template for distribution
The organizer shows modules, not macros. Macros are stored or organized in
modules. You can use the vba editor (Alt-F11) to copy individual macros.

Thanks Graham. I'm still a little fuzzy on what makes a template "Global",
other than locating it in the startup directory.

The Normal template is always global; custom templates
must be in the startup folder to be global. See http://word.mvps.org/macwordnew/glob...atecontent.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "akkrug" wrote in message ... Thanks Graham.

Hm, I just noticed that the link in my previous message was to a
MacWord page. Although the principle is the same for both flavors of Word, you may prefer to read about WinWord.

A slight correction: any template can be loaded as global by being added
through the Tools | Templates and Add-ins dialog. But only templates in Word's Startup folder will be loaded at startup as global templates. -- Suzanne S.

A global template, other than normal.dot, is loaded through (1) being in
Word's Startup folder, or (2) being added using the Templates and Add-Ins dialog, or (3) being loaded using code (but those loaded using (2) or (3) won't automatically be loaded next time you start Word) .
