Need to export a macro

[Dennis]

I have created a macro that mass-replaces a series of
characters in a document. What I need to be able to do is
send that marco to folks, and have them "install" it into
Word. Then they can load their doc, and press ALT+F12 (the
key I assigned it to) and do the REPLACE.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to
Import/Export the thing. It's recorded via RECORD MACRO,
and not written in VBA (I don't know how to do that yet).

Any tips or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

THANKS! That did the trick. Now, I have one other issue:

I had assigned that macro to ALT+F12 on my PC, but that
assignment doesn't seem to have "stuck" when imported to
someone else's PC. Is there some way I can force that
assignment? (ALT+F12 is unassigned by default in Word 2002)

Thanks again!

Make sure that the template you are saving in is the one you want.

Otherwise you can use the Shortcut Organizer.
