I don't seem to be able to get it to work.  When I create the macros,
everything seems OK.  When I run Trace to check it, I get Wordbasic
Error 118: Nested Sub or Function Defs.  Then the first column disappears.

When I enable it as an autosave macro, I get Wordbasic Error 100: syntax
error.  I haven't printed out TFM for WordBasic yet.  Am I doing something
obviously stupid?

I open the mail message, converting from text.
Then I select macro edit, with the name Savenow
I copy the macro text from the message and paste it into Savenow
I run trace and get error 118
I repaste it into Savenow to restore the first column
I macro edit autoexec, and paste in that part of the message
I save and exit
I start up WFW and get error 100

Any help greatly appreciated...
