Hmm. If I understand what you are saying, Dave, does that
mean that in Word the elements of a template are not part
of a document created from that template? I use
VBA extensively in Excel and if I transmit a spreadsheet with
macros, the macros arrive with the spreadsheet.
I'm not sure what it means to have a template distributed
throughout the agency. I have a template called BNT.dot on
the Shared folder on the main server. I open that to
create a document which becomes the form I want to Route
to various individuals in the agency.
Does BNT.dot have to be specifically present on each
recipient's hard drive? And does it have to be in Word's
designated User Templates folder for each user's profile,
or can it just reside anywhere on the hard drive? (In
either case, I don't see how the mere presence of a
particular template can affect an attached document that
arrives by email.)
In fact, now that I think of it, BNT.dot does reside on my
hard drive (in my Briefcase), but when I send a document
created from it to myself via email, the macros are not
available when I open the attachment.
Thanks for your response, but, sorry to say I'm still
confused.
