Open a macro (macro: An action or a set of actions that you can use to automate tasks. Macros are recorded in the Visual Basic for Applications programming language.) in the Visual Basic Editor (Visual Basic Editor: An environment in which you write new and edit existing Visual Basic for Applications code and procedures. The Visual Basic Editor contains a complete debugging toolset for finding syntax, run-time, and logic problems in your code.) to make corrections, remove unnecessary steps, rename or copy individual macros, or add instructions that you cannot record in Microsoft Word.

1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros.
2. In the Macro name box, click the name of the macro you want to edit.

   If the macro doesn't appear in the list, select a different document or template (template: A file or files that contain the structure and tools for shaping such elements as the style and page layout of finished files. For example, Word templates can shape a single document, and FrontPage templates can shape an entire Web site.) in the Macros in box.

3. Click Edit.
