Hello ML

When you create a new DOC from a template the functionality of the macros,
toolbars, etc that were contained in the template are not saved with the
DOC. Therefore if you send the DOC along to a new user that does not have
the template then they cannot access this functionality.


Yes, that's "as designed".

To keep macros etc. in the Template is usually a good idea beceause
changes to those would become a nightmare if you had to trace all
documents that have been created from it!


Is there some way to have all the template code and objects saved with the
DOC??

Is there any way around this or am I just missing something?


You have to either send the template along with the document, or make
sure that the macros etc. is saved in the documents themselves. The
usual way to do that would be by way of VBA (one of the predefined macro
names fires on "NEW").
