I'm glad to hear you have it worked out. Like Graham, I was wondering if the
macros were actually stored in a template and not the document itself.
The reason why it's working now is the macros were stored in the original
template. When you create a document based on a template it maintains a link
to the document template. One of the reasons for the link is so macros
stored in the template can be used in the documents. That way each document
doesn't have its own set of macros and it can remain macro-free so it
doesn't trigger macro warnings if sent to someone else. Should you ever
encounter something similar and don't know where to find the template, on
the Developer tab click the Document Template button and you'll find it at
the top of the dialog box.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

Thanks for your help, I think I have got round it. Instead of trying to
import the macros into the document, I opened the original template (which
was a fax wizard), deleted everything in it and then copied and pasted the
document I wanted in, and saved it, and the macro works in Word 2003 and
2007. I don't really understand why, but it works which is the main thing!
