Transferring macros and toolbars

[Dave Neve]

Hello

A little question about copying macros and toolbar from one .dot to another
..dot

I have a "normal.dot" and a "special.dot" with my macros.

I needed to create a new .dot which I will call "test.dot".

Firstly, when I tried opening "special.dot" and "test.dot" and using the
tools>macro>organise option, I could not manage to transfer the macros from
"special.dot" to "test.dot" directly.

I had to send the macros to "normal .dot" and then to "test.dot"

Is this a limitation of Word?

Secondly, I finally managed to copy my special toolbar from "special.dot" to
"test.dot" also.

But the link between the macros and the toolbar seems to have been
broken.(the macros can not be found)

How can I relink the macros with the toolbar?

Both are certainly present in special.dot.

Thanks in advance

Dave Neve

You should be able, in the organizer, to CLOSE normal.dot, then open
test.dot, then do your transfer.
Another way to transfer macros. Open special.dot and hit Alt+F11. On the
top-left, right-click and export your modules (may be called New Macros if
you didn't create them yourself), then go to test.dot and Alt+F11, and
import them. Or, open both dots, and Alt+F11 and click and drag modules from
one to the other.

Thanks
Strange drop down menu. Didn't understand that I had to close 'normal.dot'
before opening special.dot.
