Microsoft Word 365 (16.0) Word Options - Customize Ribbon - Macros: List not sorted
Hi Charles_Kenyon, thank you for your reply.
I put my macro's in a separate tab 'Custom tools' (image attached as well):
Then I export the ribbon and edit the XML to customize it (no icons, no autoresize).
I just wanted to add yet another macro to this tab, hence my question.
My macro's are in different modules as well, depending on their purpose.
From a developer's perspective I don't see why you shouldn't sort a list before filling the listbox.
Speed and/or memory shouldn't be an issue anymore these days.
Wim_KooyAny chance that your macros give you snippets of text to go into a document?
If you are using macros for text snippets, you are using the wrong Word feature.
You should be using AutoText, which can also have keyboard shortcuts.
Both AutoText and AutoCorrect can be used for text snippets. These are different features and are both valuable. I use both virtually every time I use Word.
AutoText can have keyboard shortcuts and can AutoComplete; AutoCorrect acts on trigger words as you type. Here are some more resources:

For anyone who uses Word more than occasionally, I recommend the series of short tutorials prepared by Shauna Kelly a while back. Basic Concepts of Microsoft Word - from Shauna Kelly
If you haven't been using AutoText or AutoCorrect, I would guess that you may not have been using Styles to your advantage, either. The Importance of Styles in Microsoft Word
