Thanks everyone for the help. I think by decreasing the security level, then the template will work, but why would I need to do that??? Does it affect the computer or can it??

A macro is a way of recording your actions or keystrokes (copy, paste, delete,whatever...) You can then repeat that sequence of events without redoing all the individual parts by running (playback) the macro.

rhawk's answer is what you need to know. But you also need to know how to create a macro. MS Word (what version do you have?) gives you a good description of how to create a macro. They are extremely useful and time-saving. So learn how to make them. Once created, they're lodged in your normal.dot template, something you should also know a great deal about since it governs everything you want to do in Word. An example of a very simple macro is this: I created one that puts the day and date in the same place in every letter I write. It's a very simple macro. But you could also create one that will type out the Declaration of Independence whenever you asked it to.

Macros can also run code or scripts outside of the document you are working with. They can be very malicious and that is why you want to set the security to prompt you before using a macro especially in a document from someone you don't know. If you don't know what the document is supposed to be capable of then always select "Disable macro" when prompted. If the document then does not perform as you had expected then you can always reopen it and select to allow the macro. Regards, Bryan

I use FWIN to scan mystery DOCs. M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
