I am using Word 2013

I want to create a new template (.dotm) from an established template (also .dotm). The established template includes macros.
  1. I open a new version of the established template - it is called Document 1 by default and includes the macros from the template.
  2. I save this Document 1 as "Report Template.dotm in the same folder as the established template. (As a matter of interest, this is the default Current Office Templates folder.)
  3. I then open a new document (FILE|NEW) based on the new template. The macros are missing.
  4. If I then open the actual template (Report Template.dotm) I find that the macros are missing from there as well. The macros are not being copied to the new template when I save it.
What's going on?????
Can anyone shed some light on this - please.
