SUMMARY
When you write macros that contain commands referring to QuickDraw GX, such as FileMacPageSetupGX or FileCustomMacPageSetupGX, your macro must first determine whether QuickDraw GX is installed.

QuickDraw GX is Apple's new version of QuickDraw, which is the language the Macintosh uses to draw images to the screen. If installed, QuickDraw GX provides the means for Word 6.0 to access different Page Setup options.
