    Are you sure you pasted the correct error message? It should read "LogText expects 1 parameters, got 2."

    The problem is that ${Log} 'In Section "One"' expands to LogText "In Section "One"".

    You can use ${Log} 'In Section $\"One$\"' or use one of the other two quote characters in the LogTextCall macro.
