Otherwise, you could save your .dotm template as a .docm macro-enabled document. This would mean that when you want to use it, you would want to immediately save it with a new name, then make your changes, save it again, and send it to someone else.

This assumes that the recipient is able to run the macros when they receive it. For a knowledgeable user, this will not be a problem. However, for many users, it would be.

If you use this method, I would advise keeping a backup copy of your original. It is all too easy to end up saving changes particular to one job to your original.

Another method would involve using the vba editor (Alt+F11) exporting the module(s) holding your macros (probably NewMacros), and then importing them into the new document and saving it as a .docm file. Again, the recipient would need to be able to use the macros.
