Share macros modules between excel and word

Question

Over the last two years I have written several macros for excel and word and saving them in normal.dotm and personal.xlsm. I have some modules that handles filereading,database interactions, html parsing and so on, these modules are exact the same both in word and excel. Untill now I have just copied them between those two applications. Is it possible to somehow have them stored in one locations(as a library) and then use them in both applications?

I guess it could be possible to write a module that export it to a given location and then deletes them for so import them again to make sure that I remember to copy all modules between those two, but this seems like the wrong way to do it.

Answer 1

Store the common functions in a vbs file and load them from macros. Of course you may require to revisit the functions to make sure they do not have excel or word specific code.
