running one macro inside another

[kawnz]

I was able to run one macro inside another last night in Word 2000, but it doesn't seem to be working in Word 97. How can I run one macro inside another in Word 97?

The code I used last night was:

Sub generate_new_form()
    Application.Run MacroName:="ToolsProtectUnprotectDocument"
    Application.Run MacroName:="create_new_form"
    Application.Run MacroName:="ProtectForm"
 
End Sub

It works in 2000, but not in 97. Help?

Try

Call macroname

Thanks
I will try that.

I was able to get it working by just removing everything, and just typing

ToolsProtectUnprotectDocument
create_new_form
ProtectForm

without using any other code.

You don't need to use 'Call' (though I must admit I would), but many do, as what it does is to clearly mark out that you are calling another routine from within that one. It's no different really to commenting your code, and just helps to make things easy to debug.
