Are macros another option for sharing templtes between computers?

Thanks

How do you mean? Templates are a way of sharing macros; I don't see how the
reverse would work.

I'm trying to set up templates or macros to minimize typing by my
transcriptionist. So for example, she enters " HP1" and a pre-formatted text
or paragraph is automatically inserted to replace HP1

AutoCorrect is the most efficient way to accomplish this for short pieces of
text; seehttp://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm.
AutoCorrect entries are stored in .acl files, which are what you would have
to share. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm

For longer, more heavily formatted chunks of text, use AutoText. AutoText is
saved in templates. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm
and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm

Yes, but not a good option for what you want to do.

The macro you need becomes very complex.

A macro is the best way of doing it, if you store the macro in a document,
not in a template. I have done it with great success.

Simply done; Tools - Macro - Record New Macro. Select from the drop-down to
store it in the document. While recording, programme just two or three of
your autocorrects, then stop. Then Edit the macro; you will see the code for
the actual autocorrect is, for example:

AutoCorrect.Entries.Add Name:="a'#", Value:="á"

(remove the redundant code between.) Copy and paste that line over and over
again and type your autocorrects in each side. Easy as pi!
