Ah, thanks for explaining that.Â* Does "running" mean that they have an

need?

The Auto- macros run immediately you open, close etc. Whether or not
their effect is visible depends on what the macro does

I'm very conscious of the fact that I use no more than a tiny (tiny)
fraction of what Word can do.

If you mean that when you save a new macro to normal.dot you cannot
run it from a previously created document...

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

I could of courseÂ* have been mistaken.Â* When I posted, I was so fed up
with the software that it's possible I wasn't seeing straight.


Yes, the plethora of options and functions can feel chaotic.

But it's all good training if the day comes when you upgrade to a later
