WD97: "All Active Templates and Documents" Missing Macros (162700)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q162700 SYMPTOMS
When you display the Macros dialog box, you have the option to list
available macros from different sources in the "Macros in" box. One of the
options to choose is "All Active Templates and Documents." When you select
this option, you may not see the macros you expect.
CAUSE
The "All Active Templates and Documents" option lists macros available
in:
- Templates or documents placed in the Office Start Up folder.
- Templates or documents made available when you click "Templates and Add-
Ins" on the Tools menu.
- The currently active document and its attached template.
The "All Active Templates and Documents" option does NOT show:
- Macros in non-active but currently open documents or templates
- New, Open, or Close events for any document.
- Visual Basic for Applications code placed in UserForm event procedures
and subroutines or functions.
- Subroutines or functions that expect arguments, as in the following
examples:
Sub MySub (MyString As String)
Function MyFunction (MyString As String)
- Subroutines or Functions declared as Private, as in the following
examples:
Private Sub MySub ()
Private Function MyFunction ()
WORKAROUND
Activate the document or template containing the macros you want to see
before you display the Macros dialog box.
