Word 2003 Macros Not Running

[Gingerale43]

I use macros to open documents, creating macros with the macro recorder. I
recently upgraded to Word 2003 and had to create new macros, but they're not
running. Looking at them in edit mode, they look fine. Using the run
command, nothing happens.

Maybe you can see your macro, but none of us can. So how do we help?

Here's a sample macro to move to open a folder (FC) when I'm in another folder:

ChangeFileOpenDirectory _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Ginger\My Documents\FC\"
End Sub

When I run the macro to move to this folder and give the Open command, it
takes me to My Documents but no further. Macros work ok when I specify a
document in the FC folder but not just the folder itself. In creating macros
to move to folders (but not documents), I've had to Escape before pressing
Stop for the macro to record. This previously worked.

My macros are currently saving to "All active templates and documents."
Perhaps I need to change to one of the other options under "Macros in"
selection in the macro recorder and editor - but that doesn't explain why
macros to open a specific document are working in the current setting.

This macro is saved with the name AutoOpen?

My macro's name is FC. I wasn't familiar with AutoOpen. Through Google I
found discription at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/286310.
From this, I set my Security for macros at medium and "Trust all installed
add-ins and templates" was already checked, but my macro to open folder is
still not working. (The other option under Trusted Publishers in
Macro/Security is not checked, re Visual Basic project.) Thanks for helping
with this.
