macros

[Reesey]

When I save a macro in word it gives me the option to save in all documents or the current document. I want to save the macro in a real file. Is that possible or perhaps word really does that but I am not looking in the right place ? I tried naming my macro something very distinct and doing a search so I could see if I could find where word saves it to ...but nothing would come up

By 'all documents' Word means save in normal.dot, thus the macro is
available to all documents.
Where do you want to save it? You only have three choices - a global
template (which includes normal.dot), the document template, or the document
itself.
If you merely want to copy of the macro code - then it is text, paste into
notepad etc.
We frequently distribute code as text via the newsgroups, and there are
several examples on my web site - see
