I was told that storing macros in Normal.dot is a bad idea because if Normal.dot goes bad, the solution is to delete it and Word will create another copy of it. Poof, all your custom macros are gone. Been there, done that. However, this advice was given in regards to Word before 2003, I am now using Word 2010. What is the best place to put macros in Word 2010? Normal.dotm or a different template either in the STARTUP folder or as an add-in??
