Word 2007 - Template Question
I need to create a template in Word 2007, I need to add a spell check macro
to that template. Is there a way to make a button appear when the template is open so users can use the spell check macro? I see on templates created in Word 2003 the spell check macro is located on the Add-in tab, can I get that to happen on new templates that I create in Word 2007? |

Word 2007 - Template Question
The reason you are seeing it on the Add-ins tab for previously created
templates is a custom button was created for a toolbar. The same capability isn't in Word 2007. For Word 2007 the concept is similar, except you use the Quick Access Toolbar. Modify the QAT for the template (right-click your QAT and click Customize...), make sure your customization context is set to the template and not (For all documents), and then add the macro. When a document is created or opened based on the template the QAT customization will merge with their QAT to make the command available. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Word 2007 - Template Question
I am following your instruction extactly, but I am hung up on one spot, the
spot I am stuck at is make sure your customization context is set to the template and not (For all documents) - the only option I have is all documents and I currently have the template open What am I doing wrong?

Word 2007 - Template Question
Is the template saved as a Word 2007 Template? One that uses the .dotx or
..dotm file extension? If not then the 97-2003 file format doesn't recognize QAT customizations. You'd need to convert the file by clicking the Microsoft Office Button and then clicking Convert. If you need to keep the 97-2003 file format then you'd need to edit the template in Word 2003 (or earlier version) and add the custom button in that version there so it will be visible in both versions of Word on the Add-ins tab.

Word 2007 - Template Question
Since it contains macros you need to use the Macro-Enabled format, .dotm.
