MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / December 2006Importing a menu item & macros from another file
Hi, I have a word document 'A' and inside it, I have my own menu item 'XYZ'. This menu item provides the merge fields, say 'merge field 1', 'merge field 2' ... etc etc The merge fields come from the macros i have written. I have a lot of documents like 'A' and whenver I need to add a new merge field, I have to go through following procedure, in document 'A': 1) Create a new macro 2) Add this to the menu at top. I have to follow this procedure in ALL of the documents one by one which is tedious. Is there any way by which I can just add a macro and a menu item for it, in ONE file and then import/attach it to the document 'A' and all other documents? Any help much appreciated. Thanks Save the document with the macro as a template. Create the new documents from that template.

Now I just want to add one more menu item and macro as described in the first message. So I need some method, by which I can add new macro and menu item to the existing documents instead of creating new ones. Thanks >Save the document with the macro as a template.

The alternative solution would appear to be your manual method.
