Embedding a macro
I have a macro that I created in Word 2002. For the document to run
correctly, it needs to be run on the host computer. Is there a way to embed this macro with the file, so that when I e-mail it, the macro will be installed upon opening the file? I know very little of macros. Thanks in advance |

You can certainly save it in the file. The problem is that when the
recipient gets it, their macro security settings may prevent it from running anyway, often without any notice. You can record macros directly in documents. For an already created macro, use the vb editor and copy to the document. -- 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.

Thanks in advance Viruses get spread that way, and Word has means to protect itself from macros being run that way. take a look here for a better approach Distributing macros to other users http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...buteMacros.htm -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup |
