Hi Paulinda,

I have a document that I want to add a macro to at run time in a C#
program. The macro will tell Word to change the printer but not change
the default printer. I know how to run the macro from the program but
is there a way to edit the macro or create a new one? I need to be able
to change the printer dynamically.

It's possible, but it's rather esoteric. And the option to "Trust Access
to Visual Basic Project" has to be turned on in Macro Security (it's not
something you can automate) in order for it to work.

It involves using the Visual Basic Extensibility object library to create
VBComponents in the current VBProject. You might want to pursue this in
an Office.Developer or possibly a Word.VBA newsgroup, as you'll mostly
encounter only end-users in this group.
