Jay,

It was the Macro name I was wanting to change and this has worked a treat.

Thank you.

When you create a macro can you give it a name? I have several
macros on a toolbar but when you hover over them each macro has its
number, ie Macro1, Macro2, etc. As they have been assigned icons I
was wondering if a name could be given to them.

(Assuming you have Word 2003 or earlier):

You can change the text of the button's tooltip at any time. Open the Tools
Customize dialog. Then right-click the button on the toolbar. In the menu
that opens, the Name field near the top is editable -- make it say whatever
you want.

This is different from changing the macro's name. To do that, open the VBA
editor and change the first line of the macro. For example, change

Sub Macro1()

to

Sub ThisIsMyMacro()

If you do that, you'll have to delete the existing button (which won't work
any more) and create a new one.
