Macros locally and on IE ?

[Paul]

Hey, I have a confusion. I have this word document that I
want customers to edit through IE with the word viewer
thing and then use a menu item I add to save it back to
the server.

Problem 1: I got how to add a menu item, but when I try to
do it on the opening of the document, it gives me an error
when I call the Add() sub when I open it in IE, but when I
open it with Word through an FTP. How can I get the menu
to be there when the user opens the doc?

Problem 2: When I couldn't get the menu to make itself on
document load so I tried making a "Make Menu" macro
button. I made the button, opened the doc with IE and
double clicked it, nothing happened, then I opened the doc
(a local copy, not thru ftp) with word, and the menus were
there just like the macro ran. Then I opened it again in
IE and the menus were there. I re-traced my steps many
times and it seems like if I run the menu macro either on
my local copy on my C drive in word, or on the remote copy
on a web server, changes show up in both places on the
next time I open the document. Why does this happen?

Any help would be much appreciated, I am stumped. Thanks

ftp addresses makes this a breeze.
