I am trying to have spellcheck work on the form fields of my document. I
have added the Macro and added a button for spellcheck. It looks good and works on my system/computer. When another user opens it, they see the spellcheck button that I added, but when they push it, they get an error that says the Macro can not be found. Is this something I've done wrong and/or is it an issue with our company's security settings? |

It all depends on where you put the macro and on your user's macro security.
Simple solution: Set up your form as a template. Store the macro (and custom toolbar with button and F7 intercept) in the template. Put the template in a network workgroup templates folder. Set macro security to trust installed templates and addins. To use, create a new document based on the template.

Is there anyway to have the macro follow if the document is emailed (i.e. -
not on a network drive). Maybe you've answer that in the information below, but I'm struggling to figure out all the details.

Only if you send a template or document in which the macro is stored and the
recipient enables the macro or (in the case of a template) saves to a trusted location. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, and no. Chances are that the macro will be blocked at the recipient's
location.
