Hi,

None of my macros work anymore, I have re-recorded them, but anytime I try
and use them I get:

Compile error:
Invalid Character

and am taken to Microsoft Visual Basic. I can't see anything wrong with them.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Try posting in one of the word.vba newsgroups.

Put the actual code of one of the macros that isn't working in your message
(not as an attachment). Asking what is wrong with code that you don't show
is like me asking you whether you think I've got the right shade of blue for
my wall when you've never seen the wall and can't see the color I'm talking
about. It doesn't lead to much in the way of help.

Much the best way to handle this sort of entry is to use autocorrect. Save
the signature block as a formatted autocorrect entry and use (eg) #vcs as a
trigger.
