For some reason all my macros were photoshop files. Just right click on one file and select "open with" then select notepad and click the box that says "always open this file type with this program" or whatever it really says. After that you can open the macro files and see them in notepad where if you know how to code(i sure dont) you can make your own or add to existing ones.

thankyou for the reply! I'm gonna see if opening it with notepad vs ms word makes it work, i noticed that when i copy paste that none of the lines are indented. Does this effect the macro? and can i make new macros in notepad?

Edit: notpad thing did the trick :)
