How do I debug .dot file?

[Zoo]

Hi,
How do I debug .dot file?
I can view the source code while not running.
But , I can't do that while running.
In the case of PowerPoint vba , there's a registry key 'DebugAddins' to
unlock the project.
Is there a similar key or any workaround to debug a dot file while it's
running?

This depends on how you're using the dot file. Is it attached to a
document, or is it an Add-in?

Thank you for you reply, Cindy.

It is an addin.
As you've said , when I open it as a document from Explorer.exe I can debug
it.
The question is when I open it as an addin.
What should I do?

What usually works for me is to open the template from its Add-in location (so
it's open as a document - it will also be available as an add-in). Set a break
point in the module. Then do whatever it is you do (starting from a DIFFERENT
document) to run the macros.
