MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / June 2007Can't see macros in organiser
I have a number of macros stored in the normal template and am trying to figure out how to use the Organiser but none of my macros are listed whether I look at the currently open document or the normal template - I'm sure I'm doing something stupid here or missing something obvious here......... Thanks for any help Sheila The organiser doesn't show the individual macros, but the modules that contain them - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > I have a number of macros stored in the normal template and am trying > to figure out how to use the Organiser but none of my macros are > listed whether I look at the currently open document or the normal > template - I'm sure I'm doing something stupid here or missing > something obvious here.........

Thanks for any help > > Sheila Sheila: Yes, you can. AFAIK that's the only way to rename them. Renaming them will break any menu command or toolbar button assignements you've made. There are VBA techniques for assigning macros and tooltips to commands and buttons, and they are generally easier than repeating your customizations using the GUI. The Organizer is handy if you take the trouble to organize your macros into named Modules. You can then move a group of macros to another template, etc. It's just not useful for renaming them. Example: My BearTools template has a module for every menu and some extras, so I can organize my macros more sensibly. modCommon modEdit modFile modFormat etc. Bear SignatureWindows XP, Word 2000 > Thanks Graham - so as a non VB person I would not really use the organiser at > all then I guess.

Unless you are creating an auto macro, the name is only an indication of what the macro does.

Note that you will have to copy the *module* in which the macro is located; you cannot copy individual subs or functions.
