Macros lost after exiting Word

[Guest]

My co-worker uses Word 2002 and has created 2 simple macros (tied to shortcut
keys) for pasting links from Excel into Word. Every time he closes out of
Microsoft Word and re-opens it, he has to re-create the macros and shortcut
keys. I thought this might be related to Adobe Acrobat, but we seem to have
ruled that out. Any idea how to prevent this?

Thanks,
AGA

He needs to make sure that the macros and shortcuts are being stored in the
Normal.dot and not in the document he's working on when he creates them.

In the VB editor, have him make sure the macro shows in a Module under
"Normal", not under Project (<name of document>).

If he's creating the macros by recording his actions, there's a dropdown in
the Macro Record dialog to allow him to choose where the macro gets stored.

The same dropdown is in the Keyboard Shortcut dialog, near the bottom.

Are you sure Acrobat is not the culprit? - see the last part of
