From: Dale on 10 May 2010 21:23 Hello Am I doing something wrong? I have macros disabled with notification turned on, this works fine in a dot file with macros: warning when opening the template, user clicks on enable macros and all is fine. When opening a document created from the template, the macros don't work: nor does the notification message appear, only a msgbox warning when a macro is triggered "macros in this project have been disabled, refer to online documentation or help etc etc etc" How do I get the macros in the "doc" file to work the same way as when it was created from the "dot" file with the working macros. Or if they are associated with the "doc" file, how do I turn them on. If I use the enable all macros option, it does work but I wanted to retain the enable with notification option. thanks --

The installation default document format for Word 2007 docx. Docx does not support macros. You would have to save as Word97-2003 format doc or docm. Similarly the default template format is dotx, which again does not support macros. You would have to save a template as Word 97-2003 format dot or dotm. For macros to work in a document, they must be saved in the document or if they are saved in its template that template must also be available to the user. It is generally preferable for macros to be saved in the document template (or an add-in). -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "Dale" <millennum125(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:%23MAYEiK8KHA.1888(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hello > Am I doing something wrong?
