Hello,

I've written a template containing macros. Now, a user of this template
complained to me that it won't load automatically even if located in the
startup path. It can be loaded during a Word session via
"Tools->Templates and Addins", though. Unfortunately I don't know which
word version my user is using but she wrote that changing the macro
security settings had no effect.
So what else can cause this?

Macro security settings should have no effect on whether or not a template
in  the startup directory loads (just whether or not macros in it run).

Is this a real Word template with a .dot suffix? And, just to be certain,
Word isn't being started with any switches - or keys pressed while it
starts, is it?

Enjoy,

Yes it is. And it works for me and a whole lot of other people when put
into the startup folder. But she says she has to enable it every time
via the templates and addins dialog.

I don't think so, but I'll ask her.

Thanks for your reply,

An add-in (a template saved in the Word Startup folder) may not be properly
loaded if:

1.    Word is set to be the Editor in Outlook and Outlook is started before
Word

2.    Word is started by double clicking on a Document.

Word must be started from the Start Menu/Command Line to be sure that
add-ins will function.

Hope this helps.
