Hi Ellen

Yes, this can be done. Here is one way:

First, create a new .dot file and move the form and any associated code
out of your normal.dot into this new .dot file. Let's say it's called
"FileA.dot". I suggest that, at this point, you re-name your normal.dot
file to (eg) normal.dot.old and move it out of the User Templates folder
so it does not get in the way of your work.

Second, in your new .dot file (FileA.dot) create a procedure that opens
the form. Let's say this procedure is called "ShowMyForm".

Third, in each of your templates, create a procedure that calls
FileA.ShowMyForm. And, in each template, create a toolbar with a button
that calls the procedure that is in that template.

Finally, put FileA.dot in your Word Startup folder, so Word will load it
whenever you start Word and thus make it available to your templates.

To deploy this, FileA.dot will need to go in users' Word Startup folder,
and the templates in one of the usual template locations.

Post back if you need more details and let us know where you're up to in
the process and what version of Word you're using.

Hope this helps.
