Access Word Sample Macros
To access the Word sample macros, follow these steps:  Make sure that the appropriate sample macro template is installed. For more information about each sample macro template, please see the appropriate macro template section in this article.  Decide how often you plan to use the macros. If you intend to use the macros only occasionally, or if you want to see what the macros do before you decide whether you want to make them easily accessible, use Method 1. If you plan to use the macros often, use either of the options discussed in Method 2. If you want to view the sample macro, use Method 3. back to the top

Method 1: For Occasional Use of Macros
If you plan to use the macros occasionally (or if you want to see what they do before you decide to make them easily accessible), add the macro templates as global templates.

To add one of the files listed in the "Summary" section as a global template, follow these steps:

 On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins. Under Global Templates and Add-ins, click Add. In the Look in box, change to the folder that contains the sample macro template. In the Files of type box, select All Files (*.*). Select the sample macro template, and then click OK. Repeat steps c and d for each of the sample macro templates that you want to use.</li> After the sample macro templates appear in the Templates and Add-ins dialog box, make sure you select the check box for the ones that you want to load, and then click OK.</li></ol>

NOTE: When you load a template or add-in, it remains loaded for the current Word session. If you quit and then restart Word, the template or add-in is not automatically reloaded.

back to the top

Option 1: Move the Templates into the Startup Folder
Word automatically has access to any macros in templates that are placed in the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup

Use Windows Explorer and place a copy of the sample macro template into the Startup folder.

When you restart Word, these templates are global templates, and the macros are visible in the Macro dialog box. A disadvantage to this method is that Word takes a little longer to start (each time it starts, it loads these templates globally).

back to the top

Option 2: Copy the Macros into the Normal Template
Follow these steps to copy the macros into your global template (Normal.dot): <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> Open the sample macro template.</li> On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins, click Organizer, and then select the Macro Project Items tab.</li> The macros in the sample macro template are listed on one side of the dialog box. Your global template (Normal.dot) appears open on the other side.</li> Select the macros in sample macro template, and then click Copy. Click OK to close the Organizer.</li> Repeat steps a through d for each of the sample macro templates that you want to add macros from.</li></ol>

back to the top

Method 3: View the Sample Macro
To view the macro code for a sample macro, follow these steps: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> On the File menu, click Open.</li> In the Open dialog box, change the Look in box to the folder that contains the sample macro template, change the Files of type box to All Files (*.*), and then click to select the appropriate sample macro template.</li> Hold SHIFT and then click Open.</li> On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros.</li> In the Macros dialog box, change Macros in to the sample macro template.</li> Select the appropriate macro, and then click Edit.</li></ol> </li></ol>

Batch Conversion Wizard.wiz
The Batch Conversion Wizard template is a template that contains sample macros to perform a batch conversion of selected files to or from Word format. It is installed on first use by default. The Batch Conversion Wizard is installed to the following folder by default:

To run the Batch Conversion Wizard, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the File menu, click New.

Word 2000 Options <pre class="fixed_text">  Option                     Description

AutoSave-Path             Sets the folder where AutoRecovery save files are written to. If you use Microsoft Word on                             a computer running Microsoft Windows 95 or                              Windows 98, automatically recovered files are by default stored in the Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Word folder. If you use Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 or later, or                              you use a computer on which there is more than one active user profile, automatically recovered files are stored in the "\Windows\Profiles\username\Application                             Data\Microsoft\Word" folder.

Bak-Extension             Sets the default extension for Word backup files. The default extension is *.wbk.

BitMapMemory              Sets the maximum size of the Word bitmap cache (in KB). If you use many graphics in                             your documents, a larger bitmap cache may improve scrolling and screen redraw speed. When set to 1, Word automatically adjusts the bitmap cache size.

CacheSize                 Sets the size of the Word file cache (in KB). You may be able to improve the speed of file I/O and other operations in Word by                             increasing the cache size. The minimum and default cache size is 64 KB.

DateFormat                Sets the default data format for the DATE field. This is used only for backward compatibility purposes. Word 2000 uses a                             different format.

Example: MMMM d, yyyy

DOC-Extension             The default extension that is used for Word documents. The default is *.doc. You must restart Word for modifications to take effect.

DOC-Path                  The default folder that is used for Word documents. The default is C:\My Documents.

DOT-Extension             The default extension that is used for Word templates. The default is *.dot. You must restart Word for modifications to                             take effect.

INI-Path                  Path for user options. This is used only for backward compatibility purposes. Note that Word 2000 user options are stored in the Windows registry or internally.

NoFontMRUList             Turns on or off the most recently used (MRU) font list. You must restart Word for the modifications to take effect. Enter either 0 or 1.

0 - Turn on MRU font list. 1 - Turn off MRU font list.

OLEDOT                    Specifies the document template used when creating a document object in Word or                             another OLE application.

Picture-Path              Sets the default path used when you select Insert Picture. You must restart Word before this setting takes effect. You can also use the File Locations tab (on Tools menu,                             click Options) to modify the setting.

ProgramDir                Specifies where the Word program files are located.

Default path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office

SlowShading               Allows you to shade graphics by overriding a                              special drawing function on some Hewlett Packard printers. Using this option slows printing. If a printer does not support this special drawing function, the switch has no                             effect. Enter 0 for No, 1 for Yes.

Startup-Path              Sets the path for Word startup files, such as                              templates and WLLs to load when starting Word.

Built-in default path: C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup

TimeFormat                Sets the default time format for the TIME field. This is used only for backward compatibility purposes. Word 2000 uses a                             different format.

Example: h:mm:ss

Tools-Path                Sets a location in which Word searches for proofing tools, filters, converters, and certain other components, in the event that they are not registered properly or cannot be found in their standard directories.

UpdateDictionaryNumber    Specifies the custom dictionary for the spelling checker; the number corresponds to the order of the custom dictionary in the list in the Custom Dictionary box in the Options dialog box of the Spelling & Grammar tab.

User-Dot-Path             Path for user templates. Note that when this setting is changed for Word, it                              affects all the Microsoft Office 2000 applications, including the Office Shortcut bar.

Built-in default path: C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

Workgroup-Dot-Path        Path for workgroup templates. You can specify a UNC path.

Appdir                    The Equation Editor program folder. Equation Editor must be installed and run one time for this and other Equation Editor settings to appear.

CustomZoom                The Custom Zoom setting. This only takes effect when Equation Editor is started in a                             separate window with the ForceOpen setting.

ForceOpen                 Forces Equation Editor to open in its own separate window. Enter 0 or 1.

0 - Open in place. 1 - Open in a separate window.

ShowAll                   Shows or hides non-printing characters.
