The only module you'll see in the Organizer from recording macros is the New
Macros module. The Organizer only copies modules, not individual macros.

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step
instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations
including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros,
etc.
