Then don't use a macro. Macros work best for recording a sequence of
commands and then wrapping that in a loop and apply it to many images
or many slices of an image.

If your macro opens new windows, its complexity will escalate very
quickly--it's all related to the central concept of the "current
image" in ImageJ. When the current image changes in an unpredictable
way, it's time to use something other than a macro. For example, use a
plugin instead, or a script in python that gives you the same power of
a plugin without having to compile or care about class types.
