Installing / using macros from others in Microsoft Word

There are already at least three very good pages on Installing Macros in Word. I want to start this page with links to those.

Instructions for Installing Macros from Forums or Websites Graham Mayor, MVP

Install/Employ VBA Procedures (Macros) by Greg Maxey, MVP

What do I do with macros sent to me by other users to help me out? by Dave Rado, MVP
and Lene Fredborg, MVP

All of the above are well-written and you may want to read each of them because they cover slightly different topics. All of the authors know more about vba and macros than I do.

If you are careful, you can use your own macros to intercept and replace standard word commands (that are triggered by buttons already on a built-in toolbar). See Intercepting Events like Save and Print by Dave Rado, Anna-Karin Bohman and Jonathan West.

For more on macros follow the links at VBA Web Resources and see: The Microsoft Word MVP FAQ on VBA
