To record a macro
1
Click Tools Macros Start recording.
The Record macro dialog box appears.
2 In the Macro name box, type a name for the macro.
Macro names can contain numerals, but they must begin with a letter. Macro names cannot contain spaces or non-alphanumeric
characters other than underscores ( _ ).
3 Type a description of the macro in the Description box, and then click OK.
4 Perform the actions that you want to record.
The application begins recording your actions. If you want to pause recording, click Tools Macros Pause recording. Repeat this step to
resume recording.
5
To stop recording, click Tools Macros Stop recording.
You cannot record a macro if all available macro projects are locked.
Not all actions can be recorded — some because of their complexity (although many such actions can be manually coded in the
Macro Editor). When an action cannot be recorded, a comment is placed in the macro code (“The recording of this
command is not supported.”), but the recording process continues until you stop it. You can view any comments in the code
by opening the macro in the Macro Editor.
By default, macros are recorded in the GlobalMacros project so that they can be accessed from other documents. However, you can
change the default macro project for recordings by right-clicking another project in the Macro Manager docker, and then clicking
Set as recording project. You cannot specify a locked macro project.
You can cancel recording a macro, and discard any commands recorded thus far, by clicking Tools Macros Cancel recording.
You can also record, pause, and stop recording a macro by using the Macros toolbar or the Macro Manager docker
(Tools Macros Macro Manager).
