I successfully created a macro, but forgot to name it -- and apparently it's
not the first time, lol. How can I rename Macro8 to something more
descriptive and useful?

In the Tools > Macro > Macros dialog, select your Macro8 and click the Edit
button. You'll see the code of the macro, starting with the line

Sub Macro8()

Change the "Macro8" to any valid macro name (spaces and punctuation other
than underscores not allowed) and click the Save button. That's all it
takes. :-)

Thank you so much, Jay. I thought about doing that and (I am disappointed to
say) I basically chickened out <<blush>> Good to be reminded that spaces and
punct now allowed.
