Macros in word have died
I am a newbie here; I generally never post anything on message boards. But I am at a complete loss. I don’t know anything about coding, and I absolutely hate being forced into learning VBA for anything but alphabet soup.
A couple of weeks ago, one of my macros that I had been using for about a year just stopped working. There was no explanation. It just stopped working. Then another one died, and another. I am finally down to none of the macros I recorded in Word working. I use these about 20 times a day to reformat other people’s copies, so it’s not like it is convenient to do without them. (remove all hyperlinks, extra returns, tabs, and add an indent). All individual macros using keyboard commands.
Unless someone has an answer, I am going to be forced to copy the original and paste into a new doc with no formatting. Which creates a whole new set of problems — I will have to compare. the two docs to see what the writer had formatted (italics, bullets, bold, etc) and redo their work.
I use Office 365 a Mac with Sonoma OS.
Like I said, I am no program and should not have to learn VBA because the macros were working until recently.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
