      that is, if you insert the macro counter twice while defining the
    ! macro, it will be incremented by 2 on each repetition of the macro.

Can you rewrite that in active voice?

    ! name to execute the last keyboard macro, in its current form.  (If you
    ! later add to the definition of the last keyboard macro, then this will
    ! not affect the macro stored in the name.)

Better is

    ! name to execute the last keyboard macro, in its current form.  (If you
    ! later add to the definition of this macro, that does not alter
    ! the name's definition as a macro.)

    ! @code{global-set-key} (@pxref{Keymaps}).  If you specify a name that
    ! has a prior definition other than another keyboard macro, an error
    ! message is shown and nothing is changed.

"other than a keyboard macro"

    !   Rather than giving the last keyboard macro a name, you can bind it to a
      key using @kbd{C-x C-k b} (@code{kmacro-bind-to-key}) followed by the

Make that

    !   You can also bind the last keyboard macro to a
      key, using @kbd{C-x C-k b} (@code{kmacro-bind-to-key}) followed by the


      @node Edit Keyboard Macro
    ! @section Editing a keyboard macro

It was good to notice this was too long, and shorten it.  The file has
other long section titles that need shortening and/or changing.  For
instance, "Where previous keyboard macros are saved" should be "The
Keyboard Macro Ring".  Can you try cleaning them all up?

This and other section titles in kmacro.texi need to be capitalized
like other section titles in the Emacs manual.
