Default Transfer of embedded macros after template is opened,

Dear Word experts.



I have a Word document template (.dotm) which I have set up with a standard layout and numbered outline format, a bunch of associated styles, and some helper macros which I have written. The helper macros are embedded into the template file itself.

When I open the template file, Word starts a new document based on the template, so all my standard layout and styles etc are in the new document. As you would expect.

Unfortunately the embedded macros are not present in the new document. They still work for me, because word can "see" them in the template document which exists on my computer. But if I send my new document to someone else, my macro functions are not available for them.

Is there an easy solution to this problem?

Many thanks!

Brian.
