A newbie question: a must to save macro word file as .docm?

Yes, but after I've saved the dotm file, I open a new document (.docx). How can I use the macro stored in .dotm in .docx?

If this is a custom template, you can attach it to the document in the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box. To display the dialog: On the Developer tab, click Document Template.

If the template is Normal.dotm, it will be globally available to all other documents in Word, as mentioned earlier.

In Word, the macros stored in a template are available to any document based on that template (provided they remain on the same system).
