Hallo Charles,

What you describe is exactly what we need.



I have put templates in the folders that you describe and can adjust the menu ribbon but how do a declare/define where those adjustments are written to? To normal.dotm or to my customized template?

Hoping that you can point me towards the location where this is set?

Thanks,
Alan

PS: Under setting shortcuts there was refence to normal.dotm and the current document but not to the template that I had placed in the directory.

Open your template for editing. (The name of the template will appear at the top of the Word window.)

Then assign your keyboard shortcuts. The macros should be in your template and you should store the shortcuts in your template.

Ribbon modifications have to be done using XML modification to your template. You cannot do this through the Word user interface, you have to use a separate program. This is described in the links I gave you. Doing this is worth learning, but it is not a 15-minute, or even a single-day, process. It will take some time and effort. The book is about Office 2007 but virtually all of it applies to Office 2010.
