Hi Jay,

I'm unable to reproduce what you have described. Does the problem
continue to occur if you start Word using the /a switch? Go to
Start/Run and run:

winword /a

Note the space before the forward slash.

Also, the macro can not be placed in your Normal.dot and if it is in a
global template you need to go to Tools/Templates and Add-ins and
manually load it.
