Default Hyperlink to Run a Macro

Greg,

I don't quite understand. (I'm not a macro or VBA programmer; I just sort
of stumble around with mostly macros by example and some simple
manipulations.)

Without giving a whole macro course, can you expand a bit on how to do what
you are talking about and how it works? Will it work in Word 2007? Will it
work in a locked doc?

AFAIK, no.

Have you cosidered a macrobutton field?

{MarcoButton ThisMacro "Click to run this macro"}

The field braces are entered using CTL+F9

ThisMacro is the name of the macro in the current project that you want to
run.

Toggle the field code and double click to run.

If yes, how?

If no, suggest this capability be added to the next version of Word
(and Access, Excel, PowerPoint, et al).
