Bob, thanks for the reply. I didn't make myself clear enough when
I said "across macros". More explicitly:
I have run a macro from the keyboard to do something, perhaps
to collect a character string.
I do some keyboarding work, then decide to run another macro.
I'd like the character-string result of the first macro session
to be passed to the second macro session.
There appears to be no in-session method of passing such values.
I could write them to file - but then Word crashes if too many
files are open, and I don't want to start messing with user's
hard drives. I could modify the INI file, I'm told, but ditto
messing with the user's INI files.
I'm looking for a RAM-housed variable storage mechanism.
