MacroButton not working

[Jules]

I have a template which has a macrobutton field in it. When users create a
new document based on the template they then have the choice to run a macro
within the document to add further information. When I double click on the
macrobutton, it works perfectly for me, however, on another user's computer
double clicking the macrobutton does nothing. I have checked that the other
user has the same templates attached and the macro is in a global template.
If I go to Macros and run the macro it works perfectly on the other user's
computer. Is there a setting in Word 2000 which would enable/disable
macrobutton fields?

thanks,

Is this on just one other machine? Or are you seeing it on multiple machines?

My first thought is that the user may have a macro with the same name
somewhere, so the Macrobutton field is "confused".

Thanks for your response. I worked out that I created the macro in one
template and then imported it to another template. I had to create the macro
in the second template instead of importing it. This now works. I will know
for next time,
thanks.
