A Template/Macro problem
I have created a template with several Ask fields, bookmarked in a number of
locations throughout the document . On my computer, an AutoNew macro updates all the bookmarks upon filling the data into the Ask field boxes. I moved the template into a shared location on a network and had 22 people set up their Workgroups templates to beable to use the template. Up to this point everything worked perfectly. Then, I needed to furnish the template to about 100 people who are not network users and are located in far flung locations. I addressed this by e-mailing the template. Ask fields and bookmarks are maintained with no problem but the macro disappears. I am at a total loss to explain why the macro disappears, upon e-mailing the template file. Please, a bit of advice would be most useful. Paul |

A Template/Macro problem
Possibly the AutoNew macro is stored in Normal.dot rather than in the
document template itself? Or it could be that the recipients have their Macro Security set to High. Or that they are opening the template itself rather than basing a new document on it. -- Suzanne S.

A Template/Macro problem
Are the remote users using FileNew or are they using FileOpen?

One other possibility is that the remote users have their macro security
turned to high and they have not stored your template in a trusted location. -- 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://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
