Word VBA: deployment

[sharon3874]

I am new in VBA and I am kind of confused now.

I created a word document with some macros in it. one of the things that I did was to add an extra menu item to the short-cut menu(right-click menu), and it will popup a small window...It worked well on my machine, but it didn't work when I put my word document on to the server.(I want other people to use it too.) when my co-worker opened up the same document from the server on her desktop, the menu item added didn't show up. however, macros were there.

is this normal? how to let other people to use the word document on their desktops? should there be any special deployment process?

Thanks in advance.

Is Security on your co-workers copy of Word set to at least Medium?

It sounds like you have added the extra menu item to your Normal template instead of the document - how did you add it? If you used VBA you need to make sure the CustomizationContext is set to the Document (it will default to the normal template). If you did it manually using the Tools > Customization Dialog there is a dropdown at the bottom to set where the customizations will be saved - again, it will default to the normal template.

Enjoy,
Tony
