Save Template Marcos/Toolbars/Etc with DOC File??
When you create a new DOC from a template the functionality of the macros,
toolbars, etc that were contained in the template are not saved with the DOC. Therefore if you send the DOC along to a new user that does not have the template then they cannot access this functionality. Is there some way to have all the template code and objects saved with the DOC?? Is there any way around this or am I just missing something? |

To keep macros etc. in the Template is usually a good idea beceause changes to those would become a nightmare if you had to trace all documents that have been created from it!

You have to either send the template along with the document, or make sure that the macros etc. is saved in the documents themselves. The usual way to do that would be by way of VBA (one of the predefined macro names fires on "NEW"). 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

How exactly can you make the template macros and related be saved with the
document? I guess I am missing something? "Robert M. Franz" wrote in message ...

You can use the Organizer to copy macros and toolbars into the document.

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm. Apply the methods for
creating such customizations and moving them to another template to your document.

Thanks. We have a note on the security. we need to have the macros
working so not much choice but to have them set this to low. Or is there a better way to permit specific templates? "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ...

If you place the template in either the user templates folder or the
workgroup templates folder (as determined by Tools Options File Locations) you can set the security level to "trust templates and add-ins", independent of Low/Medium/High. An added advantage, for anything other than a one-off document delivery, is that the template will be found wherever the document is located. So you wouldn't have to send the template each time you send a document of that type. I would never set security to Low - it's better to use Medium and accept the warning. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "ML" wrote in message ...
