Please, someone, direct me to some documentation that describes step by

alternatively, give me a step by step how to. All my attempts seem to

Couple of things to watch for, first of all, you can NEVER
over-write the standard library. I mention this in this document
(http://www.pitonyak.org/OOME_3_0.odt) that I lack the time to
finish from my published book.
So, if you desire to copy the Standard library, you must manually
copy the data, but, I will not bother to discuss that for now.
Ignoring the standard library, you should be able to do the following:
use Tools > Macros > Organize Dialogs then select the Libraries tab
The drop down location must read "My Macros & Dialogs"
Select Import
Select the document containing the macro
Select the libraries that you desire to import. Do NOT try to import
the Standard library
If desired, you may choose to replace any existing library. If you do
not, it should not over-write an existing library, but I have not
verified this.
Thanks Andrew, that gets me closer. Unfortunately, the macro I am
trying to import is called "Module1" and is the only macro in the
"Standard" folder. The import does not drop down deep enough into
the "standard's" internals to chose the desired macro.
I wish there were an add-on that did a descent job of managing macros.
Thanks again for your time and thoughtful answer.

Module 1 is in the Standard library so you CANNOT import it directly.
You must use the IDE to manually copy the code to the clipboard and then
paste it into a new module.
You can import libraries, not modules.
