The dialogue box is what you see when you run the macro in Connexion.
Were you able to run the macro?
By the way, this only works when there is a scale statement on the map
or when you can accurately measure the bar scale in centimeters or inches.

The Docushare website says that there's a dialog box, but I can't
figure out how to get to it. Can someone give me a hand?
