Same template doesn't work in a doc

[Dave Neve]

Hello

I have a .dot with my simple macros and an extra tool bar to use the macros.

I also have two key documents that both make reference to the macros and
tool bar in the .dot

One document works fine and a click on the tool bar gives an instantaneous
result while the other document needs many clicks before the macro works and
then it takes ages.

Sometimes, I need to click in the document as well for the macro to work and
the message 'document not responding' is displayed while the hourglass icon
is running.

What could be causing the first document not to work well when it uses the
same macros/toolbar as the second one.

Thanks in advance

Dave Neve

The only difference for me is that the document that works well is much
shorter.

Hi Dave,

Without some basic information, such as

1. Version of Word

2. What you mean by "two key documents that both make reference to the macros
and the toolbra in the dot"

3. Some information on where all these are stored relative to each other

it's impossible to offer much. My first thought would be to make sure that the
path the problem doc file is searching for the template in actually exists, and
that the *.dot is there. This sounds awfully like it's not the case (check
Tools/Templates and Addins)

Hi

I'm using Word 2001 with XP.

By 'make reference', I meant that in Visual Basic Editor, when .doc 1 or 2
is opened, you can see in VBE that it is using the .dot (in Windows
templates), to load the extra toolbar and macros.

I've now tried making sure that the path to the .dot is the same but I
haven't found a way to confirm this.

Thanks in advance

Dave Neve
