MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2006Normal.dot
I'm just coming over from Office 97 to XP with Word 2003. Word's VBA macros used to be stored in Normal.dot. What's the deal with "Normal" now? And, why doesn't it prompt for module save confirmation when closing after a modification? Thanks,  SignatureTrent Argante [DC.J(125)] There hasn't been any change. Check out Tools > Options > Save tab, "Prompt to save normal template" -- Enjoy, Tony > I'm just coming over from Office 97 to XP with Word 2003. Word's VBA macros > used to be stored in Normal.dot. What's the deal with "Normal" now? And, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Trent Argante > [DC.J(125)] It's not really correct to say that they used to be stored in normal.dot as if that was always the case. They only got stored there if you did not set them up to be stored somewhere else (in another template is where they should usually be). If you have macros that you want to be available for all documents, then you should put them in a template that you save in the Word Startup folder. Nothing has changed in this respect between Word 97 and 2003. SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
