Hi ILoveInternet,
The Marco is placed in a .dot-file in a project and opened in the word document. The word document then has the macro in the file and other users do not have to have this .dot file to run the macro. This is an incorrect assumption. If the macro is in the DOT file, it remains in the .dot file and is not transferred to the document. So every user who uses a document created from the *.dot file must also have access to the *.dot file in order for the macro to run/be available. Furthermore, you don't show us the code that works with the custom document properties. Depending on how the macro is addressing the properties, it's quite possible that it's actually manipulating the properties in the *.dot file, rather than in the document, itself?
