Is there a way to view/edit a VBA macro code stored in a dotm file in the word startup folder besides opening the dotm file?
If I try to view the code with a opened blank document word returns a error message that the project can't be show.
Thanks

If you double-click on the template, for example, or use any of the other available methods to create a new document from it, you can access the template's code by pressing Alt-F11.

I was unable to view the vBA project from the doc1.dotm file in a new document created from doc1.dotm.
To open the project I still have to open doc1.dotm itself.
I did not understand this restriction, why a user can run a macro from doc1.dotm, but word don't let to view the code. ("blocked project" warning)
Thanks!

Unless the project is password protected, you can view it from any document attached to the template; if it is password protected, you can't view it at all without supplying the password.

The vba code contained in addins is not available for viewing or editing UNLESS the addin is explicitly opened. If you want to edit the code, open the addin directly - it doesn't matter if it is already loaded.

Note that if the template is VBA password protected this still won't give you access to the code.

That's what I was thinking. The only way is to open the dotm file itself.
Thanks.
