Creating Macros and adding to group menu on toolbar
Hi,
I'm using Word 2003 and I have created several macros. I've also created several new menus on the toolbar to make these macros easily assessible. My problem is, that when I close Word, it should be asking to save my normal template since I've applied changes and it isn't. Therefore, everything I've created and assigned to the toolbar is lost when word is reopened. Is there a setting that I must change to make this stick? Thanks in advance! Phyllis |

Creating Macros and adding to group menu on toolbar
The best way to do such things is create a new Word Template (.DOT) and store
all you macros in that file. Move your Menu creation code to Open event of this template and later on you can add this template to your addins collection in Word from Tools--Templates and Addins. This way will give you more flexibility. Moreover, users may not save the changes always while close Word. You can also check 'Saved' property of a template and set to TRUE/FALSE as per the case.

Creating Macros and adding to group menu on toolbar
The problem with normal.dot not being saved is usually down to a bad add-in
and by far the biggest culprit is the Adobe Acrobat add-in. You can update that from Adobe. But as previously answered, the best solution is to create a separate template (call it something like MyCustom.dot) and save your toolbars and macros to the new template. Put that template in the Word Start-up folder. Now when you open Word, the toolbars will be loaded and the macros will be available with any other template you may want to use. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Phildunc" wrote in message ...
