Putting a macro on other pc's

[akkrug]

The spell checking macro I got from the mvps website is working perfectly on
my pc. I'm having trouble moving it to other pcs. What is the best way to add
it to the template we base our new forms on?

Thanks.

I put the template with the macro in one of our user's startup directories
and the toolbar with the macro button on it is not showing up when she starts
Word. I was able to create a new toolbar for her and add the button to run
the macro. Is there any way to keep the toolbar display on when the form is
saved to the startup directory so we don't have to add a toolbar on each pc
we put this on?

Thanks again for all the help. The macro works very well!!

Hi Ken,

Did you save the toolbar into the global template? Use the Organizer
to copy it from its original location.

Hi Jay,
The toolbar is in my Normal.dot file and also the template that I set up
based on the Normal.dot file. I put the new template based on my Normal
template in each of our users startup folders. The step I was missing was
copying the toolbar from my custom toolbar to thieir Global Template.

As always, Thanks for the help!!!!
