Hi I have created a report template and added a Toolbar named "Styles". I have saved the template as .dot file. The toolbar has 5 buttons on it: Apply Heading 1, Apply Heading 2, Apply Heading 3, Apply Body Text, Insert Table All of them work when you open the document as .dot file, but when the document is opened as a .doc file, the Apply Body Text doesn't work (it is a macro that I created). It says "Could not open macro storage - Error 5981. This is driving me nuts and was wondering if anyone has any idea why this would happen and how to get around it. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Caroline
You don't need macros to apply styles to a toolbar. You can simply add the styles to the toolbar. What does "All of them work when you open the document as .dot file, but when the document is opened as a .doc file, the Apply Body Text doesn't work (it is a macro that I created)." mean. Are the macros saved in the template along with the toolbar? Is that template available to people opening the documents created from it? -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Caroline Horner wrote: > Hi > I have created a report template and added a Toolbar named "Styles".
