Compile errors: What's wrong with this code?

[DFStoneJr]

After several years of working with VBA in Excel, I'm now starting to
visit the world of Word. It's driving me nuts.

The following two macros are stored in the same module in Normal.dot:

Sub FileFolderLabels()
Application.MailingLabel.DefaultPrintBarCode = False
Application.MailingLabel.CreateNewDocument Name:="5066",
Address:="", _
AutoText:="ToolsCreateLabels1", LaserTray:=wdPrinterManualFeed,
_
ExtractAddress:=False, PrintEPostageLabel:=False,
Vertical:=False
End Sub

Sub FaxCover()
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\dstone\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates\FAX.dot" _
, NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0
End Sub

The former generates this error message: "Compile Error. Expected End
Sub" on the first line.

The latter generates this error message: "Compile error. Only comments
may appear after End Sub, End Function or End Property" before it even
gets to the first line.

I've tried separating them into different modules. I've tried deleting
all blank lines in the code.

What am I missing? Why won't the code execute?

No problem here compiling your code when I copy it into the Visual Basic
Editor and fix up the line breaks.

Well, I copied the code to a new module, then deleted the original
module. They seem to work now. Aaaaaaargh.

Thanks for the response. It helped.

It means you had something inappropriate preceding the macro within the
module.

Whatever it was was invisible. The code was pasted from the modules
exactly.

What could "something inappropriate" be? I don't want to waste another
half-day if I don't have to.

Sounds like you have a corrupt template. I'd export all modules, and import
them into a fresh template, and carry on working from there.

Corrupt templates do happen from time to time. Take a look here.
