I prepared a macro-containing document in Office 2011 on the Mac, saving it as .docm and then as a .dotm to make it a template. It contains a button in a bookmark to load and paste a picture into a bookmarked location in a protected (for forms) document. The macros run just nicely on the Mac.
When I first imported it to Windows 7 and Office 2010, it gets stuck at a Left$() function call, complaining Word "Can't find project or library". When I look at References, it lists
MISSING:Normal.
(The location given is the folder where the original file was.)
I returned to the Office on the Mac and in looking at its references, there is indeed one to Normal in this folder, though there is no Normal file there. I unchecked it and resaved the docm and the dotm. The docm file itself now works fine under Office 2010, but the .dotm file does not complaining continuing to complain as before, though the strange reference to Normal is gone. Does any know why the .dotm file isn't working while the .docm is? The end user can use the .docm, but a template would make it cleaner.
