Why don't I see my macros in New Documents? Nina 12/10/2008 4:23:01 PM Hello, This morning when I opened an New Document in Word and attempted to invoke one of my macros (stored in the Normal.dot file), it did not work. Nothing happened. I looked in Tools -> Macros... Macros for the list of macros (in the New Document) and saw only AutoExit.MAIN, RemoveFineXML, RunFineReader, and Show). None of the macros I've created are there. However, I do see all my macros in Normal.dot. Why are they not appearing in my New Documents? (I'm using Word 2003.)

Re: Why don't I see my macros in New Documents? Nina 12/15/2008 10:25:02 PM Hi Stefan, Thank you for your response. I now realize what happened. The other day, I set up my "File Locations" in Word so that "User Templates" pointed to my own templates folder (separate location than where Normal.dot is stored). It appears this caused the creation of new Normal.dot to my templates location. I changed the path back to the default and my new documents are now finding the macros stored in Normal.dot. Thanks, again, for your help.
