Toolbar buttons for macros

I have written some macros for a particular document, and
I have created toolbar buttons to execute them. But now
whenever I open ANY word document, I see those toolbar
buttons. I want to confine these buttons to only that
document where I created them, because executing the
macros from other documents will produce some nonsensical
results.
How can I do this ?
Thanks for helping.

You will need to create a template and store the macros in that specific
template. Then attach the template to that document.

Did you save the macros in the document or in Normal.dot? Did you save the
toolbars in the document or in Normal.dot? In order to have the macros and
toolbar available only in the specific document, you must specify that
document when creating the macros and the toolbar ("Make toolbar available
to").

You can also, as Tonya says, create a template and store them there, but
they can also be stored with the document. Note, however, that they will
generate a macro warning when the document is opened; this will not be a
problem if you store them in a template.
