Hi Jasmine
 
I wrote about this solution for Word macros (I assume that's what you're
talking about), just the other day! 
 
You can see the solution here:

ttach-them-to-all-documents/ (or http://bit.ly/2fA09v)

Subject: atw: Storing a Macro


Hello 

One of our secretaries has created a macro to do some printing settings
and wants to share it with her team. I don't really do alot with macros
so I am not sure of the answer I've given her or what the best solution
is. 

I told her that if she saved it into a template, then the macro would be
available to anyone who created their document using that template. The
problem is that the documents they want to use the macros to print are
any one of the several thousand standard letter templates that I
maintain. (No - I can't add in her macro to my templates. Far, far too
many.) 

Like I said, I don't really do alot with macros and create them
infrequently (yes I will work on this lack of skills - but not now). I
know there is probably a basic lack of understanding as to how they work
that is stopping me from seeing the inevitable simple solution. Also,
they are all on thin client as we use Citrix (practically everyone but
me), which does bugger up some docs of our that have macros. 

Any ideas? 

Thanks 
Jasmine
