SYMPTOMSWhen you run a macro in Word 7.x, the following error message appears: When you run a macro in Word 6.x, you get the error message: In Word 2.x for Windows, the error message is: This problem does not occur in Word 97 for Windows or Word 98 Macintosh Edition for Windows. CAUSEWord 7.x is able to nest macros as deep as 15 levels. When it tries to open the 16th macro, it will return the error message. Word 2.x allows you to nest macros as deep as 11 levels. Word 6.x allows fewer than that. The actual amount varies, but it is typically between 6 and 9. This is because Word 6.x requires more overhead when calling a macro to account for the added functionality of passing array variables. This behavior is by design. RESOLUTIONWord does NOT use as much overhead when calling subroutines within a macro. If you require nesting routines deeper than six levels, Microsoft recommends that you contain your functions within the same macro module. MORE INFORMATION
