macro problems

[LittleScribbler]

I found a macro and copied it into the VBA macro part of microsoft word. It highlighed the telling words in my manuscript well. When I tried to edit the macro by adding more telling words, using the same syntax, it wouldn't work. I had to replace to original to make it work. I copied and pasted a second macro and it highlighted all my vague words well, but when I wanted to use the macro for telling words again, it wasn't there. I saved both macros under all active templates and documents and the normal template as the instructions on the web sites and you tube sites suggested. I want to create other macros based on the one that works and save them so they are available every time I need them. I'm very new to macros and need to learn as much as I can. I'll be eternally grateful to anyone who can help. Thank you.
