That's more or less what I had in mind, to expand the first paragraph of the section on "Downloading macros to import". The existing sentence (after the semi-colon) there is a bit cryptic to anyone who's never done this before. The confusing part is "choose the macro to edit" -- the reader is thinking, "Huh? I'm trying to paste in a new macro, not edit an existing one." Possibly a mini-example would help?
