I have a macro that I need to copy to other computers.  The macro inserts a
header or footer into any document that is opened in word.  So not only will
the macro need to be copied to multiple computers but also needs to be
available in all word documents.

How can I do that?

Thanks for the article.  That now brings up another question.

We use Word through Terminal Services.  Can I copy a default copy of the
normal.dot to the All Users or Default Users folder so the macro is just
THERE for all new users?

Normal.dot by definition is wherever the user Templates folder is located.
By default that is in the user's own personal profile.

Under no circumstances should normal.dot be shared - Word will start
behaving erratically as a result.

Do what the article says - create an add-in, put the macro into the add-in,
and put the add-in into the startup folder.
