Finding Word Sample Macros
To access Word’s sample macros, follow these steps:
- Check that the appropriate sample macro template is
installed.
- Decide how frequently you will use the macros.
Using Macros Occasionally
If you plan to use the macros only occasionally,
it’s recommended that you add the macro templates as global templates.
To do this, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, select Templates and Add-Ins.
- Under Global Templates and Add-ins, click Add.
- In the Look in box, browse to the folder that contains the
macro template. In the Files of type box, select All Files.
- Select the sample macro template, and click OK.
- After the sample macro templates appear in the Templates
and Add-ins dialog box, select the check box for those you want to load, and click OK.
Tip: When you load a template or add-in,
it remains loaded for the current Word session only. When you exit and restart Word, the
template or add-in will not be reloaded automatically.
Using Macros Frequently
If you plan to use the macros frequently, move the
templates into the Startup Folder.
Microsoft Word automatically has access to any macros in
templates that are placed in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup
or
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\
depending on how your system is setup.
Use Windows Explorer and copy the sample macro template
into this folder. When you restart Word, these become global templates, and the macros are
visible in the Macro dialog box.
