Default Sharing toolbars and macros??

Hi Darrell,

One other option is to save a document with your active macros as a template
or *.DOT file. Copy this file to the hard drive of your second computer.
Then, go to Tools templates and add ins. Add your saved *.dot file. This
will bring your macros as well as toolbars. While not as integrated (you may
have to activate the add in each time you open Word), it does work a little
more smoothly.

macros and other settings are usually stored in templates. Unless you've
consciously put them elsewhere, they will be in normal.dot. Copy this file
to the new computer. Check Tools Options File Locations for where to

put
it.

Sharing or copying normal.dot is not a good idea. See
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions
on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including
AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc.
