To change the name of a macro, you need to open the macro in the VBA editor.
One way to do that is Tools Macro Macros select the macro name Edit
(you may have to set the "Macros in" box to the specific template or
document containing your macro). Another way is to open the editor (Alt+F11)
and select the template and module that contain the macro.
When you can see the code, just edit the first line, for example change
Sub MyMacro()
to
Sub MyOtherMacro()
and save the template.
After changing the macro's name, you will have to go to Tools Customize
Keyboard and reassign the keyboard shortcut -- it won't automatically follow
to the new name.

This is a simple question (I apologize) but I could not figure out
how tochange the name of one of my macros. When I tried to do this
in Tools, Macros, Edit the macro disappeared from my list of macros. I was
able to get it back pretty easily, but only with the old name. Then I
tried Tools, Templates & Add-Ins, Organizer, but there was
nothing in the macro Projects Items except NewMacros. NO sign of
mine. But there MUST be a way to rename the macro. How? I have a
Keyboard Shortcut to run that macro. Will it still work if the macro
is renamed?
