The template should be saved in the User templates folder or the Workgroup
folder (tools options file locations), for it to be used as a document
template i.e. new documents are created from it. You don't 'open' the
template in order to use it. The mere presence of such a template in the
folder will not apply the macros to the existing form document, unless the
template is attached to the document (tools templates and add-ins)

If you want the macros to be available to all documents, then they must be
saved in a global template. For global templates other than normal.dot (as
in this instance) that template must be saved in the Word startup folder.
(Tools Options File locations). Macros in such a template behave more or
less as if they were stored in the normal template.

For the macro to work in

Thanks for your seemingly neverending patience.

I have:
Set up a template with the macro running on exit in text fields in a
form. Saved the template onto a shared drive.
Once someone opens the template the macro is attached to the template
but is no longer active in the text fields.

As I say, I am sure that it is something very simple but I can't work
out why it is still there and yet not working.

Thanks once again
