Macro buttons not appearing.

[Guest]

We have a global template created & macro buttons attached to the template.
The macro buttons won't appear for a couple of users? We've gone to Tools,
Customize, Options and changed the settings to "always show full menus", but
still doesn't work. Any suggestions? The macro buttons are to turn on and off
protection on a form document to allow spell checking.

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm. I am assuming you mean
toolbar buttons rather than macrobuttons. (Macrobuttons are fields that can
call macros.) A toolbar button needs to be on a toolbar. I usually put mine
on custom toolbars rather than the built-in ones, at least when building
them, because custom toolbars can be easily copied while customizations to
the built-in ones cannot.

Is the toolbar on which the buttons reside being displayed?

Some Add-Ins interfere with the display of toolbars from other global
templates. You may need an AutoExec macro in your template to force display
of your toolbars.

Charles, actually it is a macro residing on a toolbar. It is set to protect a
form, then the second one created is set to run spell check.
