MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2005templates getting bigger and bigger
My Normal template in my Word 97 is now at 1.87 MB, my main global add-in template at 1.67 MB. Year by year, they keep getting bigger. So far the size doesn't seem to present any problems, thankfully. I use the Code Cleaner from time to time to reduce the size, but it doesn't make a significance difference. Larry Hi Larry, I would suggest for both normal.dot and your add-in you create a new blank template, use the Organizer dialog to copy all your code, styles, toolbars etc to it, and then continue working from there.

However, when I did this for Normal, the replacement template was missing the custom menus in the menu bar of the old Normal template. To keep the custom menus, I think I would have to create a "transitional" toolbar in the old Normal, drag the custom menus onto that, then use Organizer to copy the transitional toolbar into the new Normal, and drag the menus onto the menu bar in the new Normal.

Also to reduce the risk of code running in bloated templates causing page fault and other errors. > However, when I did this for Normal, the replacement template was > missing the custom menus in the menu bar of the old Normal template.

Yes. Unfortunately the Organizer only copies whole toolbars. The approach you have described is the best I can think of.

All the menus must be copied, since all my menus have customizations in them. > > Hi Jonathan, > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Yes. Unfortunately the Organizer only copies whole toolbars. The > approach you have described is the best I can think of. I put all my menus from my old Normal onto the transitional toolbar. But when I opened the new Normal, all of of my custom key assignments were gone. Zero. So it seems that creating a new template and then copying the Projects and everything into it from the old Normal via Organizer does not transfer all the information.

I think I'd have to use the Shortcut Organizer to copy all the key assignments to the new Template. I have, ahem, 470 key assignments.
