But, isn't there a way to directly make the macros be stored in my new template.
As I said previously, to create macros and have them stored in the new template, you'd need to first create a new document based on that template. If you create a document based on the normal template, that's the only template Word will off for you to store them in. You could also open the template for editing and do all the creation in it directly.

If there is no way for this, and copying is the only alternative should I insert a new module to copy the macros...?
Well, you could certainly do that, but it really isn't necessary if you do the creation using the proper template in the first place.
