Recording and playing back a key macro
To record a key macro
- On the Custom toolbar, click Key Macro, and then select Start Recording. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+M. (If Key Macro is not visible, add it to the toolbar by selecting Tools on the Categories list and Key Macro on the Commands list on the Customize dialog box.)
- Type the sequence of keystrokes you want to record.
- When finished typing, on the Tools menu, point to Key Macro, and then click Stop Recording. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+M again.
Key macros only remember keystrokes. They do not record mouse movements and clicks.
