I am new in VBA and I am kind of confused now.

I created a word document with some macros in it. one of the things
that I did was to add an extra menu item to the short-cut
menu(right-click menu), and it will popup a small window...It worked
well on my machine, but it didn't work when I put my word document on
to the server.(I want other people to use it too.) when my co-worker
opened up the same document from the server on her desktop, the menu
item added didn't show up. however, macros were there.

is this normal? how to let other people to use the word document on
their desktops? should there be any special deployment process?

Thanks in advance.

Jonathan,
Thank you very much!!

Actually, I didn't create any template, I just added macros to an
individual document.

Must I need a template to distribute?? Is there a way to only
distribute a single document?

Thanks again.

If you want other people to use it, then it will probably have to go in a
template, otherwise other people's security settings will refuse to run the
macros.
