Hi Stargate Fan,

One way to do it:
Open the Object browser (F2), look up your macro.
Then right-click on it, choose "Properties..." from the context menu that
appears, and edit the Description.

In Word 2003, the description doesn't show in "Customize..., Commands tab"
though (probably a bug).
It does show up in the keyboard customization dialog and "Tools > Macro >
Macros".

Regards,
Klaus

Sorry for the delay.  Work has been a bit harried ... this works
perfectly, thanks.  I have Word2K so was able to change the
descriptiion of some of my older macros from that standard "macro
recorded by such and such on such date" to an actual description of
the macro.  Much better.

Glad it worked! I hadn't ever done it before either, and used the new-found
knowledge myself to add some descriptions.

I know.  It's great, isn't it?  Now there's something there for the
user to see that is helpful rather than just the pretty useless date
and time <g>

Cheers.
