how to copy macros
There are several ways to move macros from one computer to another.
1. The macros are stored in some template (or less commonly in a document). You can copy that template's file from the work computer and transfer it to the home computer, using a diskette, a memory stick, a CD-R, email, IM, or any other means you can think of (dog sled?). The folder that contains templates is shown in the Tools Options File Locations dialog, and it's usually C:\Documents and Settings\your login name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. The copy should go into the same folder on your home computer, using your home computer's login name. 2. You can make a new blank template, and use Tools Templates & Add-Ins Organizer Macros to copy the macros from the original template to the new one. [Note that the Organizer shows the names of the modules that contain the macros, in the same sense that folders contain files. You may have to look in the VBA editor to discover which modules contain the macros you want.] Then transfer the new template to the home computer. 3. In the VBA editor (Alt+F11), display the Project pane (Ctrl+R). Then you can find the module that contains the macros you want. When you find the correct module, right-click it and choose Export File. Supply a name and folder for the file, which will have a .bas extension. Transfer that file to your home computer. There, open the VBA editor, right-click the icon of any template, and choose Import File. Select the .bas file and click OK to make a new module containing the macros. 4. In the VBA editor, select the code of the macros you want, copy them to the clipboard, and paste them into the body of an email. Send the email to your home computer. There, create a new template, and insert a new module into the template. Copy the code from the email and paste it into the code window of the empty module. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

how to copy macros
As far as I'm aware, the capabilities of Word in the S&T edition are
identical to those in the Professional edition, possibly with the exception of XML support (which has nothing to do with macros). On your home computer, start Word and press Alt+F11. If the Visual Basic editor starts up, you'll have no problems with compatibility. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
