SetDocVar seems like a clumsy way to communicate between macros, 
since it apparently bloats the size of documents.
I saw a better message that echoed my suggestion of using 
Result-returning functions to generate the appearance of Global 
variables.
Since, accoding to MicroSoft Help Desk's clerk, opening macros 
uses file-handles, that just plunges me deeper into the 'out of 
memory" problem.
