If you are recording the macro, in the Tools | Macro | Record New Macro
dialog, there is a dropdown labeled "Store macro in." This is where you must
choose the document you want to save it in (it must be open for editing).

If you are writing a macro in the VBA Editor, you must select your document
in the Project Explorer before writing the macro. Since I don't write VBA, I
can't tell you much more than this; if you are a coder, you presumably know
more than I do. You can move or cut/paste an existing macro from Normal.dot
to any other document or template that is open.

I dont know how to save a macro in a document. I cant find any information
online on this issue either. Can you give me step by step instructions on
how to do this please?

You must save the macro in the document. When you create it, you must
select the document as the location to save it (by default, macros are
saved in Normal.dot). And then of course others who use it will have to
enable the macro if challenged (and to even given the option, they must
have Macro Security set to Medium rather than High or Very High). A
better solution in some cases is a template containing the macro,
installed the User Templates folder if a document template is required or
in Word's Startup folder (as a global template) if only the macro is
required; these are "trusted locations," so macros will not be challenged
provided users' Macro Security is set to "Trust all installed templates
and add-ins.

How do you attach a macro to a document so when others try to use the
document the macro will be there as well? Currently the macro only works
on my computer.
