Problem with startup templates

[JJTB somhorst]

Dear sir/madam,

I have a question about start-up templates. I have created an start-up template which contains some vba functions and subs. I would like to call these functions from other templates. The reason is to keep the global code at one place which is easier maintainable.

So I created an start-up template added it to the

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\application data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

directory and saw that it was loaded. Unfortunately I cannot access code from that template in another template I created or any other document I am creating.

Could someone explain to me what could be the cause of this? The directory above is a trusted directory so why doesn't it work?

You need to set a reference in Tools>References in the Visual Basic Editor
to the template in which the functions and subs are located.
