Deleting a Macro

Summary: No longer need a macro you created last week or last month? Here’s how to get rid of it. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

Many macros that you record or create are used for a specific purpose; they are not intended to be used over and over again for long periods of time. This means that as your needs change, you will have occasion to delete macros. To delete a macro, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the Macro option from the Tools menu, and then choose Macros from the resulting submenu. Word displays the Macros dialog box.
  2. From the list of macros, select the macro you want to delete. The Delete button becomes available.
  3. Click on Delete.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each macro you want to delete.
  5. Click on Close when finished.

Tip #986 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
