Re: MS Word/Tools/Macros - select a macro -What is "step into it"

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



It means "start executing code one step at a time". When you click it, you may see that the first executable statement in your macro highlights (typically yellow). Click again, the next executable statement highlights, etc. It's really for debugging (you may find it helpful to enable the debugging toolbar).

I think it's in the Help (certainly Word 2007 VBA help)

Since you're starting with VBA it's probably worth
a. finding a book on it, or skimming through the Help
b. looking for answers in the microsoft.public.word.vba.beginners group (sorry, I don't know what it's called on the Microsoft communities website)

I am building a template. I want to add custom macros to the template and
when I select Tools/Macro and make a list is displayed that has options to
"run" or "step into it" What does "step into it mean? I do not see any action
when I select it.
