Copying macros and button panels from template to document

I've created a document template containing a number of
macros as well as an additional button pannel.
When creating a document from the document template, the
button pannel as well as the macros are available in the
document.

When another writer is working on the document, however,
the macros and the button pannels are not available if he
doesn't have the document template as well.  Even if he
has the template this doesn't help because the path for
the template in the document (specified under
Extras/AddIns) is absulute, not relative, so every writer
has to adjust the path to the template, which is bullshit.

Therefore, I'm searching for a mechanism which copies the
macros and the button pannel into the document when the
document is first created (and then forget about the
template).

Any help and ideas on how to do this automatically are
very appreciated!  Or maybe someone has another great idea
to handle this problem.

Regards,

Carsten

I do this by copying the toolbar and macros using the
Organizer under Tools/Macro/Macros.  All of my macros are
in "NewMacros" and they all get copied to the document.  I
am sure that greater minds can tell you how to create
subsets of your macros so only the ones tied to the
toolbar are copied.
