title: How to call a VBA-macro in another MS Word document?
body: <p>in MS Excel I have been distributing a xls-file that contains a macro. From the users "random" current open workbook I have successfully been calling this macro by telling Word in which file to look for it. Like this, when the user clicks a button on the ribbon:</p>
  
  <p>C:\\"'MyExcelFileWithTheMacro.xls'!MyMacroName"</p>
  
  <p><strong>Can I do the same in MS Word?</strong>
  That is, to call a macro in a Word-file located in any given folder from an instance of Word that has not opened that file?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried, of course, but Word keeps saying it can't find the macro.</p>
  
  <p>The reason I want to do it this way is that it is makes for easy distribution and updating of the macro. Next up is signing the macro. I hope it can be done when doing things this way, but not sure.</p>
