PB macros for Word 2010 & 2007

David's problem was resolved offline.

Hi David,

I just migrated to Word 2013 working with Win8. Have your macros been tested on this platform?

Not that i am aware of. i will be very interested to hear you results!
i would be surprised if the macros did not work in Word 2013. But i have no idea what Win8 will do, but since all the macros work inside of Word then Win8 should be inconsequential.

One question though - I have a template I use for writing my messages with some specific styles and page formatting.  Is it possible to copy the macros into that template so they are automatically there when I start writing my messages based off that existing style/layout template?

i think you can do this by editing your Template (as shown below)

1. Open Word and edit the template that you want the PB macros to work with

2. Select the Developer's Tab
               (if you don't see the Developer's tab, you will need to edit the ribbon)

            a. right-click on a blank area of the Ribbon

            b. in the popup, click on Customize the Ribbon...

            c. on the right side of the customize window, click to check Developer and then click OK.

3. Click on Document Template icon (this opens a window as shown below the arrow in first image)

4. Locate the PB Macros item and check it, then click OK. (if you don't see it in the list use the Add button on the right)

You will need to Save and exit your editing session for the Template. Then when you open a new Word doc and use your template, i think it should work and include the PB macros.

Do these work in Office 2013?

By Office 2013, i guess you imply Word 2013 (the macros were written for Word docx's as that is what PBs requires)

The macros definitely should work, they are written in VBA

And i am guessing that the UI-ribbon probably works similar in Word 2013, so it should work too.
(even if the UI-Ribbon didn't work, you could attach toolbar commands to each macro)

Somewhere in this very long thread are instructions (they were attached as a PDF)

i have placed the most recent files for L4Macros on my host server (links are below). These were build in Oct 27, 2012.

1. L4_PB Macros.dotm   (the actual macro file to be used with Word)
   
   
2. L4_PB_Macro_Tab.exportedUI   (the UI [user interface] file which you use to add the ribbon tools to Word)
    (right-click on this link and use SAVE LINK AS to download this file)
   (Read the Adding the macros to Word PDF, if you already have Add-ins in Word, doing this could destroy those Add-ins!!!)
    
3. Adding the macros to Word.pdf     (older doc which shows you the steps to installing the macros into Word)
    
4. L4 PB Macro Template Information.pdf   (older doc which tells you how to use the macros [limited, it doesn't teach you how each PBB tools works, see the forum wiki page for this or ask questions on the forum)

         Or here is the zipped file:   L4_PB_Macro_Tab (Oct 27, 2012).zip

Did this after helping a forum member get the macros running on Office 2016

In the above reply (see Edit2 in that reply), i gave instruction on adding a Devotional macro to the L4 Macros ribbon. (that macro was already in the old macro file that i built, but wasn't added because i had not updated the User Manual (which is still not update)).

There are so few responses about my macros that i have not further supported new changes.

P.S.

If you want your L4 Macros tab always visible in all Word documents then save the template file L4_PB Macros.dotm in the folder:C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
This saves you from having to check the checkbox for this template every time you open a Word document to get the macros working after opening that document.

If you have already placed the macro file in C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, then you will need to delete this macro file (L4_PB Macros.dotm).
