MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / November 2006Distributing Macros and Keycombinations
when you distribute macros via the .dot templates, does it also distribute the keystrokes assigned? Or is there a separate process for that? the article: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DistributeMacros.htm doesn't seem to address this. thanx!  SignatureJJ Runnion Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott, AZ Assuming that you've saved the keyboard shortcuts in the same template, it should work fine.

She probably saved them to the default (normal.dot). However, if she creates a new template, based on the normal.dot, will the macros and keystrokes copy over? Or does she need to save them in a separate process? thanx, j SignatureJJ Runnion IT Support Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott, AZ > Assuming that you've saved the keyboard shortcuts in the same > template, it should work fine.

Well, if you open any template as a document (via File | Open) and then use File | Save As, all settings (styles, page layout, macros, AutoText entries, keyboard assignments) will be transferred. But it would be more convenient to create the shortcuts directly in the document containing the macros; that way, they will be available whenever the "macro template" is loaded into memory.

I have tried it in several different ways; putting the template into the STARTUP folder, the Templates folder, a folder on a shared network drive. Nothing. All the macros do show up, but none of the keystrokes work. your help is appreciated.

Rename the normal.dot file (with Word closed); a new file with factory default settings will be created when you restart Word. Does that fix the problem with the shortcuts?

I'll let you know. My guess is that it will, since I was able to use it on a test machine and get it to work, but I have to get with that constituent to follow-up to make certain. thanx again. j SignatureJJ Runnion IT Support Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott, AZ > Did it fix the problem? > [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > thanx! |
