+  #    Ver 1.1    2017-09-20
+  set macroList to every macro whose selected is true
+  --- Make Sure Only ONE Macro is Selected ---
+  if ((count of macroList) = 1) then
+    set oMacro to item 1 of macroList
+  else
+    error "Multiple Macros are selected.  Select only ONE and re-execute this script."
