I believe it was Bob Davis (who this message as posted to) who created a set 
of two macros (Word 6.0).  The first created or recreated the second and then 
you could use the second as temporary macro.  It sounds like those two macros 
may fill the bill.  I even assigned them to a toolbar which made it very 
handy to perform tasks like you have outlined.
