Macros do not appear in Macro dialog box

[gwasson]

I create a macro by choosing Tools > Macro > Macros, entering a name, and
clicking Create. In the editor I write the code, then return to Publisher and
save the file. But when I choose Tools > Macro > Macros again, the created
macro does not appear. Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks

Go into the Visual Basic Editor and run the macro from there?

Alternatively, create a toolbar button for your macro?

Ed,

Thanks. The problem seems to be that the code I had entered had an error in
syntax. Apparently, if there is a syntax error, the macro does not appear in
the Publisher Macros dialog. Once I fixed the error, it was visible.

Interesting - I had never noticed that.

Thanks for posting back.
