I have upgraded to MS 2000. Previously installed macros are still present; I
can run them but I cannot edit or delete them. In MS Word/Tools/Macro/Macros
the headings are Run|Step Into|Edit|Create|Delete|Organizer...|Cancel. Edit
and Delete are greyed out. Run is OK. Step Into produces comment: Project is
unviewable.

How can I Edit and Delete please!

Hi David,

That symptom means that the macros are in a global template. The only macros
for which you can view the code are those in Normal.dot, those in templates
on which open documents are based, and those in templates that are open
themselves.

To edit or delete the macros, you'll have to use the File > Open dialog,
navigate to the Startup folder, and open the template directly.
