RE: FN-FORUM Word HTML

date posted 7th January 2003 18:04

Ok smarty pants, where does a macro go in a html word document,
where the document has no template and I cannot alter the
default.dot template?

I appreciate the time you put in to answering my query, but if
you read the points in answer to your suggestions you will
see why they wont work. I did not ignore anything, let alone
studiously.
