Macros from this Forum will not run.

[Seatonian]

Hello, first time on this Forum. Have copied Macro by esteemed G Mayor from Thread 40477 (remove underscores ... ) and assigned a Key. The Macro is correctly stored in Normal template. On "running", no sign of life: compiles but does not function, does not generate Errors. Have tried the other macros in the same thread with same result. Finally, have deleted the Sub and RETYPED the desired macro from a printout. Still no activity.

One unlikely cause: I do not need the remaining components of Office. I only use Word 2010 (x84) and have not installed them. (Too complicated at my advanced age.) But G Mayor's impeccable code contains only conventional Word commands, so why will his elegant Macro not run?

What should I do? All suggestions gratefully received. Thank you.
