I run Mathematica 7. I have some legacy notebooks,   from Mathematica 5, in which there were Modules such as

macro :=Module[{j},
Print["something"];
plota;
Print["something else"];
plotb
];

where plota and plotb were plots. Now with Mathematica 7 the semicolons prevent the plots from showing up. Show[plota]; has the same problem. The semicolons, which are needed in a Module, prevent the plotting.  I have tried using a Column or a Graphics column,

macro:=Column[{
Print["something"],
plota,
Print["something else"],
plotb
}]

and this does the printing and the plotting, but all the printing comes at the beginning and all the plots come after that. I really want the printing to come in between the plots, in the order that I show them. How can I do this?
