Problem

Symptoms: Invoking a macro inside the Macro Editor will place some of the commands from that macro in the Macro Editor. However, not all of the commands come through and the results are not consistent. What is the rule about putting two macros together inside the Macro Editor? Solutions: The answer is two-fold.
1.      Pressing Ctrl-V and invoking a keyboard macro while in the Macro Editor will place all of the codes from the keyboard macro in the Macro Editor screen. This will also work vice versa; that is, pressing Ctrl-V and invoking a regular keystroke macro while in the Keyboard Macro Editor will activate the macro.
2.      You can activate a keystroke macro from anywhere in WP 5.1. Therefore, if the macro performs commands such as {Format}261{Enter}{Enter}{Exit}, these commands are executed in the Macro Editor (current screen). Shift-F8 remains as the {Format} command, {Enter} creates a new line, and {Exit} will exit the Macro Editor. Therefore, some commands will come in and some won't depending on their function in the Macro Editor.

How/Why:
The program wasn't designed to perform in this way. This problem is similar to the situation described in Folio memo #: 14444J in the WP51 infobase.
