Macros problem - why do they keep disappearing?

Question

I have received a Word document which has macros embedded. When I copy and paste it into my templates folder, the macros have been erased and the document doesn't function properly - how do I stop the macros from being erased? I have already entered the templates folder as a trusted location.

Answer 1

When a Word document has embedded macros, you have to save the document as something else. You can't copy/paste because that would only copy the text on the page, not the macros which are written in Visual Basic behind the scenes.



You need to do the following:

1. Open the document if you do not already have it open.

2. File>Save As

3. Type new filename

4. Choose a different location if desired

6. Click Save



Following those steps will preserve the VBA macros.

Answer 2

Did you copy and paste the Word document or the code file to the templates folder? You should be able to run the macros from the document you received. You can save that document anywhere, for convenience.



Alternatively:



Press alt + F8 in the document with the macros;

Open the macros by clicking the Edit button;

Copy and paste into a Notepad document.

Open a new Word document;

record a new macro, then stop immediately;

paste the text from the Notepad document into the new (empty) macro)

Save it (close)



You'll need to copy the text from the Word doc you received into the new Word doc, so that all of the fields are available.

Answer 4

I don't know if you can copy that way.



Try opening the document in something that doesn't run scripts, such as windows Notepad, then copy the code from there.



Hope that helps.
