macros on one machine is not working on another correctly

[Miskacee]

I have macros that take a word document form information and places certain
fields from the form into a table within another word document. Whenever I
run the macro on my PC is works fine but whenever someone else uses the
macors, the information within the source document doesn't always get
'placed' in the proper location of the table within the other word document.
The macro always works on my PC (the one in which the macro was created).
I've checked versions, programs in the start up, etc. and can't locate
anything that may be causing the macros to not generate correctly. Any
suggestions?

You probably saved your macros in normal.dot or in the document template.
When opened on another computer, your document will probably link to the
normal.dot on that computer and not find your macros. You _can_ store macros
in a document, but macros stored in documents are often disabled by macro
security settings on the new computer.

instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations
including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros,
etc.
