When we restructured our full-day WordPerfect classes by taking simple
macros out of the Intro class and putting them into the Intermediate
class we considered offering a half-day class on advanced marcos.  We
already offer two half-day classes, one on Merge (which includes some
advanced applications), and another on Labels, Envelopes, and Logical
Pages.  We decided to play it by ear, if we got requests, we would run
the class.  We haven't gotten any requests, and it's been more than a
year.

I think the people who need to write these are already fairly advanced
users and can teach themselves.  In our WP UG on campus we cover both
Creating Simple Macro and Advanced Macros once each year.  This probably
helps the intermediate user feel a little more comfortable with the WP
macro language.
