see Workgroup Template in VBA

[zSplash]

I want to have one User template location and another Workgroup template
location, but when I set it up for that, I can only see the User template in
the VBA editor. How can I make it so that I can see two Normal.dots in the
VBA editor? Or, maybe the question should be: Are both User templates and
Workgroup templates called Normal.dot?

TIA

There can only be ONE normal.dot.

Thanks, Diane. Okay. I rename the Worker template "Worker.dot". Why can't
I see it in the Workgroup template folder? How can it be made available for
use?

Macros are available for use if they are in any of the following locations

1. normal.dot
2. The current document
3. The attached template of the current document (i.e. the template the
document is based on)
4. A template loaded as an add-in (i.e. any template listed in add-ins list
in the Tools, Templates and Add-ins dialog) and which is checked in that
list.

The way to ensure that an add-in is automatically loaded when Word starts is
to place it in the Startup folder. You can find th location of the startup
folder by going to Tools Options, and clicking on the File Locations tab.

You should only have one normal.dot! For more on the different kinds of
templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders
