Can't view macros from file when active in another file.

Man oh man I feel real stupid asking this question.

I work at many different workstations depending on my daily job functions and all setting are local to that PC, but I often use the same macros at these different places. I store these macros in a file and I use these macros on other files.

My problem is that sometimes I cannot launch these macros from the macro file because I cannot view them when I am in the file I am working on; I can't run the macro if I can't view them.

What setting am I looking for. This is a brain fart question. Please help me get back on track.

Answer
That would depend upon where the macros are.  However, if they are in the Normal.dotm template or in a macro enabled template that is located in the Word Startup Folder so that it is treated as an Add-in, the macros WILL BE AVAILABLE for use with ALL documents.
