Not a problem. This macro is activated at the shortcut command for this particular
document, or in the Scheduler. Normal Word operation is not affected. Oh, wait, I see your
point; suppose some other document is being edited. Theoretically the operator is supposed
to see the time log pop up, fill in a line and dismiss it. But, of course, operator could
be away drinking lunch or studying the ponies in the rest room. Ok, there must be a way to
activate a document in a completely new run of Word. Or close the Log without closing Word
if there are more documents open.

But. The damn thing still doesn't work, though it works when I test it. It still gags on
something and puts up an error screen.

Back to the drawing board.
