Word 2003

I have too many macros in normal.dot. I'd like to split my macros
into specific sets, and store each set in some new/different "Global
template" so that I can select just one set to display using the
"Macros In:" list in the "Macros" (Alt-F8) dialog.

How do I create a new "global template" (or whatever convenient file
to store a macro set in)?

I don't want to store the macros in individual data (.doc) files.

I use the term "Global Template" above because I obseve that Adobe
Acrobat has, when installed, created its own global template with all
of the macros that it has added to my instance of Word.

Thanks for your help.

You can use the visual basic editor to create different modules and move
your macros to those modules.

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step
instructions on moving / sharing / copying customizations including
AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, macros, etc.
