It states, "As you may have found in the previous section, using the Macro
dialog box is not the most efficient way to run your macros. Ideally,
running a macro should be as simple as clicking a button or pressing a
keyboard shortcut."

Perhaps I should have indicated using the Macro dialog box isn't the most
efficient way to run macros you intend to use repeatedly. :-)

It also explains why it is not possible to have multiple footnotes on the
same line in Word. (I'm aware of the workaround using hidden text for the
'paragraph' marker.)

(But Word still leaves all the space that all the separate notes would
occupy, Suzanne has reported.)

It would be nice if that were fixed. In hot type books, it was very
usual to put two and three short reference footnotes on one line (a
column of such things under the left side of a text block looks quite
unbalanced). With large pages, it was quite common to have two columns
of footnotes under a single column of text -- that would be a nearly
adequate substitute for not being able to put several in one line.
 
(I scaned the previous section for instructions on running a macro
with a dialog box, but it was about recording macros. Maybe I didn't
go back far enough.)
 
The Macro dialog box was mentioned in section on recording macros. Also, as
noted at the beginning of the chapter, it doesn't begin to encompass macros
and VBA and is intended for those who are beginners. I'd have loved to have
been able to add more on the subject but was already pushing the scope of
the intended audience by including a portion on editing.
