You may like to give a macro to someone or import a macro in Word. A convenient way to do it is using .bas files.

To import one or more macros included in a .bas file, when you are in Word press Alt+F11 to open the VB Editor.

In VB Editor go to “File” > “Import”, or just press Ctrl+M.

In the dialog that opens, find and select the .bas file to import your macro. That’s it!

To export your macros, when you are in the VB Editor go to “File” > “Export”, or press Ctrl+E.

Give a name to your .bas file, and enjoy!
