If you see the Script Settings dialog box, specify whether to keep or
replace the settings you previously stored with the script, and then
click OK.

is selected. (See “Setting general application preferences” on page 9-2.)
1. Choose ScriptMaker from the Script menu.
2. In the Define Scripts dialog box, drag the double arrow to the left of
the script name to a new position.
3. To add or delete a script from the menu, select the script, and then
select or deselect Include in menu.
