Can't see macros in organiser

[Sheila D]

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

The organiser doesn't show the individual macros, but the modules that
contain them - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

What, if anything, is listed in the dialog box? Note that you will have
to copy the *module* in which the macro is located; you cannot copy
individual subs or functions.

Thanks Graham - so as a non VB person I would not really use the organiser at
all then I guess. Can I rename macros just by editing the name at the
beginning of the code?

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.

Yes - within the naming constraints of vba. Unless you are creating an auto
macro, the name is only an indication of what the macro does.
