As of yesterday my Word macros stopped working. I cannot use my keyboard shortcuts, and when I go into VBA it’s blank. If I try to add a macro using view > macros > create it gives me an error msg saying “this macro cannot be added.” Anyone know how to fix? I use several macros daily for editing efficiency and have spent numerous hours trying to find the root cause of the problem. #edibuddies #editing #macros @edibuddies

@RhondaBracey @edibuddies was confused at first because I couldn’t find the AppData folder. Then I saw your blog post on how to view hidden folders. Thanks again!
@RhondaBracey @edibuddies I was confused for awhile but yes I did find a backup I made and I’m now using macros again! What a relief! Thank you so much Rhonda!
@Editrix_Rachel I searched his pdf “the complete macro tool list”
Any editors know of a macro that converts MM/DD/YYYY to month day, year? #copyediting #amediting #macros
@grammargirl I did something similar the other day using a macro that toggles between italics and quotation marks
@rickirobin these are amazing!
Eliot has movedAccording to Merriam-Webster, the past tense of sightsee is sightsaw. According to me, the past tense of sightsee has GOT to be something like "saw the sights," "toured," or "went sightseeing," because good grief no. #AmEditing
