Compile error: Invalid Outside Procedure

Question

<Moderator moved from Windows to Mac because Parallels is involved>

I recorded an "Insert Text From File" macro that gets the following error message when I attempt running it: "Compile error: Invalid Outside Procedure".

The VBA code is as follows (with an arrow pointing to the "Sub Macro8()" line, and highlighted in yellow):

Sub Macro8()

'

' Macro8 Macro

'

'

Selection.InsertFile FileName:="Test1.docx", Range:="", ConfirmConversions \_

    :=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False

Please help!

Answer 1

Some code must be running or intercepting your typing.

Try the command in a new, blank document.

Answer 2

Still not working :(

Answer 3

Since the problem applies to Word for Windows, I suggest starting a new question in the Word for Windows forum and ask about what could cause CurDir to fail.
