Thank you - but in MS Word 365 on my iMac this process doesn't work. Maybe you can help. I simply want to save a name with its foreign accent marks so I don't have to re-enter them constantly in a book ms., and I want the macro available in any document in Word on my HD. When I open Macros, I can see the version of the macro I already saved. (I've also tried this with a brand-new one.) Results: There is no Button option, only Keyboard, and when I click that, an error popup reads "Microsoft Visual Basic - Invalid Procedure name." I've clicked on every available button in the window -- Organize, Step, Edit, Run -- and nothing helpful appears. So I can save the macro, but only to the doc I'm working on, and I can't assign a way to call up the macro. Can you help me figure out what to do? Thanks!
This is a wpnderful example of a video that takes into consideration people with visual issues. It has a huge red pointer (that's what I use always), uses arrows and circles to highlight items, plus the presenter says in words where to look: the lower left-hand corner, for example. Thank you! I usually have to request these things, not always with success. But with this, I could actually learn what you were teaching! Brava indeed.
This is a great video, thank you! My question is, can i add multiple macros with different names so my team can use a drop down and pick the template they want to use?
My understanding is that you cannot add a macro to a Content Control Drop Down List Box. BUT . . . I think there might be a way to do it if you instead create a Drop Down Form Field in your Word document. To do that, you would have to go to the Developer tab, and in the Controls Group, select the Legacy Tools button (looks like a briefcase with a monkey wrench on it). Then under Legacy Forms, select the drop down button. Its dialog box will open for you to set it up. I have not personally used this tool, so I can't advise you on the details, but you can Google it and see what comes up for you. I do have a feeling that the specific thing you want to accomplish might not be possible. Still, it might be worth your time to research it more.
This is not an "insert signature" macro you created. It is a "paste contents of the clipboard" macro. It would have been good to show why this macro would fail as soon as you copy something else to the clipboard, and then show how to do a proper "insert signature" macro. Your video was very concise and well done, as others have commented, but this flaw seriously devalues this video.☹
An excellent video. Thank you.
Now, can I use the macro when typing an e-mail and if so how do I go from the e-mail to get the macro?

A clear and concise explanation - brava, Debra.

Thank you, Wendy! Your feedback is so kind, and important. It helps me to know how my videos are received!

If you quit Word and open a new document, the macro won't work. This is because the content of the clipboard is lost when you quit Word.
super crystal clear! A+++++++++++++++
Funny how they put Macros under the view tab. I feel that macros should have their own separate tab.
This is not an "insert signature" macro you created. It is a "paste contents of the clipboard" macro.

Waste of time.
