Macros that already exist in a document can be saved locally on the PC and used in any Word file. To do this, you can copy the macro into “normal.dotm”.
To do this, go to the “View” tab → “Macros” (via the drop-down arrow) → “Show Macros” to access the required window. In the upper area, you can choose which storage location the macros should be displayed from. Select the current document here. The existing macros should now be displayed.
Then open a new window by clicking the “Organize” button. You will now see two fields facing each other, representing the different storage locations. Select the current document and the existing macro on the left-hand side. Use the “Copy” button between the two fields to assign the macro to another storage location. Here you select “normal.dotm” and can simply copy the macro into the second window.
Now you can close all windows and access the macros stored in the “normal.dotm” from any Word file.
