Default Recording macros

You can store as many AutoText entries as you like and assign a keyboard
shortcut to each one, or you can type the first four letters of the entry
name and press Enter or F3 (depending on version) to insert it.

Thanks suzanne but I wish to store many different paragraphs fo rinsertion
at
various different stages and the keystroke macro works much better than
autotext for me

In that case, you'd be better advised to use AutoText; see

What is it that you think this macro is supposed to do?

From your description, it selects the text from the cursor to the end
of
the
current paragraph
It copies the selected text to the clipboard, then pastes it back over
the
selection, so while the macro is undoubtedly working, it will not
appear
to
do anything as the end result will be the same as what you started
with
(though you should still have the selected text stored in the
clipboard).
