Anonymous

I have written a complex macro for MS.Word and saved it as Template file. Now have to distribute it to co-workers. However, I want to create an executable file which can install (put the template file in word/startup forlder).  

Is there any chance of doing so?

Thanks in advance

There are programs that create installer EXEs and other file types.

I've used one called CreateInstall for years; there are full, "light" and free versions available. 

INNO Setup also seems popular (and is free, I believe).  There are others, free and at all sorts of prices.

Your main problem, I expect, will be in telling the installer app where to put the files.  Most of them won't have built in "Put it in the Word Startup Folder" commands.
