Add-In macro doesn't show in ALT+F8 list?

[Ed]

I wrote a macro and put it into an Add-In (in a template, in the right
folder, added and everything). Tools>>Templates and Add-Ins shows the
template and it's checked.

If I do ALT+F8, with the list showing macros in "All active templates
and documents", the macro name doesn't show up. If I change the
drop-down to show only the name of the Add-In, the macro name shows.

What do I need to do t fix this?

Hi Ed,

folder, added and everything). Tools>>Templates and Add-Ins shows the
template and it's checked.

and documents", the macro name doesn't show up. If I change the
drop-down to show only the name of the Add-In, the macro name shows.

any chance another addin (including normal.dot) or an opened template or
document contains a macro with the same name? That would be a conflict
that Word probably resolves by not showing the name at all...

D'oh!! Of course I built the the code in Normal, and then copied it
into another template file for distribution. Renaming the one in
Normal solved the issue. Thank you!
