Apparently, a software team at MS thought the old way of editing a macro (you know, click the edit button) was just too easy. Now if you want to edit a macro in a DOTM file located in the "startup" directory, you must explicitly open the DOTM file through the standard open file process (and drilling down though several directories). BRILLIANT! A much better method than clicking "edit".
To anyone from Microsoft that might be reading this. It's generally a bad idea to produce products that result in your pesky customers swearing at your company on a daily basis...and believe me, I'm not alone.
