create/modify new templates and macros from current normal.dot

[Guest]

I have a very large normal.dot and want to separate some of the autotext
entries, macros, etc. into separate templates for different-type of projects.
In some cases, some of my documents contain NewDocument... or NewMacro... or
both. How do I know what belongs to what? How do I list all Macros in the
Organizer's macro tab to view and select the ones that I want? Can the
Macros with their related shortcuts be printed?

How do I Modify a template, save the modified template, and keep the
original template as is? This may be a separate question, i have found that
some of my new documents upon saving, generate a popup screen asking if I
want to view the Errors (what! it's a new document) or Save the file and
errors. Why are their errors. Errors upon viewing are three letters with
numbers, I believe. Thanks for your help.

If you have not separated them, all macros will be in the NewMacros module.
The organizer only displays modules not individual macros. You will have to
open the macro editor and move the macros around as you require.
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm may help.

To retain the original of a modified template use SaveAs and give the new
one a new name. The http://www.gmayor.com/save_numbered_versions.htm macro
may help, but if you are working with templates you'll need to change doc to
dot where it occurs.
