MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / December 2004Migrating macros
I have a new installation of MSO 2003 on a new PC and can't seem to find all the macros on the old PC. I copied everything in the Local Settings/Applications/Microsoft/Word folder in the user's profile and some of the macros are there, but some are missing. Any thoughts on where they might be? The C drive of the old PC? Thanks! Cathy Macros are stored in templates and documents. By default most will be stored in normal.dot, but check for global templates in the Word and Office startup folders the locations of which will be determined by operating system and word version.

You do not, however, want to copy normal.dot with that name.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>> Thanks! >>> Cathy Maybe "Moving (Sharing) Customizations in Microsoft Word" about halfway down on this same page (just below Master Documents Feature in Microsoft Word ) is supposed to be a heading instead of a link. It sounded exactly like what I was looking for, but when I couldn't click on it to go somewhere, I was confused. >I just tried the page (http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm) and >it has the following links as well as the step-by-step instructions for [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >>>> Thanks! >>>> Cathy Forgive me.
