I'm trying to relearn how to create macros in MS Word, after a hiatus of fifteen or so years. Back around the turn of the century I played around with macros in Word 97, but only got as far as learning how to record them, and then make some minor tweaks to the recorded VBA code.

Now I'm running Word 2003, and have recorded a new version of the old macro I used with Word 97 back around the year 2000 or so.

What it does is open and resize a number of files so that four of them are opened side-by-side, like four columns of text in the Word Window, and a couple more are minimized into little tab-like bars at the bottom of the window.

I'd like to be able to add another file or two that would also automatically open, resize and minimize.

I'm wondering if there's a way to append to a recorded macro, by recording more commands.

Of course I could just re-record the entire macro from scratch, adding in the commands to include the new files. But before I try that, I thought I'd check to see if the option exists to continue recording more commands onto the tail-end of an already saved macro.

I suppose I'm going to have to bite the bullet and eventually learn how to write my own VBA code, aren't I? But I'm in my seventies now, with a failing heart, so it doesn't look like I'll be around that much longer, so I may never make it that far.
