Default How to save a Word 2007 (docm) to a macro enabled template (dotm)

If the document is opened and the macros it contains enabled then the macros
should stay with the document when it is saved as dotm.
I am unable to reproduce your problem when this process is followed. It
should also work even if the macros in the document are not enabled when you
save it.
What are your macro security settings in Word Options Trust Center Trust
Center Settings Macro Settings? Set to Disable all macros with
notification - which will give you a warning when macros are disabled. Yet
even when disabled the macros are still present in the template - though not
editable.

Hi,
I have a Word 2007 Macro Enabled Document (docm) containing a series
of macros. It works fine and I would like to convert it to a Macro
Enabled Template (dotm). When I attempt to save as a dotm file, the
macros are not saved in the new document.

The original document has macros saved in it, not in the Normal
template. I am running a 32 bit version of Vista Ultimate and Word
2007.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Keith
