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.

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. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "Biljackson" wrote in message ...
