Purpose of the Macro Organizer window

  • Create or rename a macro book (file of macros).
  • Delete a macro from a macro book or delete a macro book.
  • Move or copy from one macro book to another.

 Caution: You can use the macro organizer for duplicating and moving shorter macros. However, if you want to duplicate or move lengthy macros, a safer technique is to copy and paste directly from one macro to another using the macro editor.

  2. Use features of this window to work with macro books and macros as described in the table below.
