macros

[jesse]

Sounds like you modified your Normal template. You can
save your macros either to Normal, or another template
that you create. You can delete the content of the Normal
template so it's blank. You must first locate it, then
open it. Read the following...

Unless you're using the word "macro" incorrectly, you're taking the wrong
approach to document creation. For each specific type of document, you
should create a new template. Much of what you're creating with your macros
can probably be put in the template, but if you have a UserForm to insert
data in the document, it will require an AutoNew macro to show the UserForm
and a macro to insert the collected data in the document.

Not like beating a dead horse...I just want to have a
toolbar button for the three documents I use the most.
Before, with Word 2000, I just created three macros and my
letterhead and fax would pop up. Most of the time I use
Autotext for small things but it seemed easier to create a
macro from a regular saved document. This is what
happens...I create the macro from my fax document already
saved on my system, and then create a second macro based
on my letterhead document. When I click the first toolbar
button I created, it opens my fax document; if I have
another miscellaneous document opened and then later try
to click on the second macro button, the document is
exactly the same as the miscellaneous document. I tried
the suggestion re: looking at the normal.dot, but the
document is blank. I know I can do this, because we have
created everybody elses macros using the same procedure in
Word 2002. Any other ideas??? I would really appreciate
it!!!

Hi Kyahr

Can we back up a bit here? How did you create the macros? How were the successful macros created on other machines? And, where are
the macros stored -- in normal.dot, in another template?

Maybe paste the relevant bits of macro code into your reply (don't attach the file) and someone may be able to see what's going
wrong.

Hope this helps.
