MACROS in WORD 2010, Windows 7

I've created a Macro in Word 2010, which I use (the Macro) very frequently especially in one specific file.

The Macro doesn't work on other Word files.

I've tried to copy the macro to the Normal.dot file, and I supposed that then it should work on any Word file.

It does NOT.

In Window XP,  using the Organizer when the macro was displyed on the screen, I could easily copy it.

Now I can't.  (In Windows 7).

Seek you assitance, please.

TIA

Answer

Try the following:

  • Quit Word. Make sure it is not running any more.
  • Start Word again.
  • Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
  • Do you see Normal in the Project Explorer on the left?

If not, Normal.dotm has not been loaded automatically.

If yes, you should be able to see the macros stored in it.
