You can export the module that contains the macro to a file and then import the file as a module into your current application.

is there a way i can put the 3 custom macros on the network and have everyone share them?
You can do that by putting the three custom macros in a template on the network, then placing a shortcut to that template in the Startup folder of Word on each machine. Alternatively, you can copy the template itself to the Startup folder of each machine each time the user logs into the network (use the network postlog routine). That allows you to update the network copy of the file when users are in Word (otherwise you might have problems updating the template because it's "in use").
