Recording a macro
Running a macro
Editing a macro
Using auto macros
A
macro is a sequence of commands or keystrokes that Word records
and lets you play back at any time. Macros allow you to create your
own customized shortcuts for tasks you do over and over again. For exam-
ple, Word comes with built-in keyboard shortcuts to make text bold (Ctrl+B)
and to make text italic (Ctrl+I), but no built-in shortcut exists to make text
bold and italic all at the same time. To perform that formatting task, you
have to press Ctrl+B and then press Ctrl+I. If you do that a million times a
day, pretty soon that extra keystroke becomes bothersome. Wouldn’t having
a shortcut for bold-italic be nice? With Word’s macro recorder, you can
create one.

This chapter shows you how to record and play back simple macros. It
doesn’t show you how to create complex macros by using Word’s macro
programming language, Visual Basic for Applications. That’s the topic of the
remaining chapters in this minibook.
