If you want to use macros, you want to learn to write them, not just record
them. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm. The
recorder can be a starting place but generates very poor code. Many Word
functions can't be reached using the recorder at all.
Looking at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/UsingRecorder.htm it would
appear that names can begin with numbers, but not with punctuation. I
haven't tried it because I try to follow the Word command structure of
naming macros with real words or abbreviations with an uppercase letter
beginning each new word. When you assign a macro to a button, the tooltip is
automatically this name with the words separated by spaces in the tooltip
(but _not_ in the name itself). Example: Sub MoveToTemplate will generate a
tooltip of "Move To Template."
I would recommend looking at Steve Roman's book on Word Macros. It will save
you a lot of time and pain.
