Saving and reusing key macros
When you record a new key macro using the Start Recording command (Ctrl+Shift+M), Namo WebEditor “forgets” the last macro you recorded, if any. If you want Namo WebEditor to remember more than one key macro at a time, you need to use the Key Macro Manager dialog box to save and play back macros. With the Key Macro Manager, you can permanently save any number of key macros and play back any macro by selecting it from a list.
To save the last recorded macro
- On the Custom toolbar, click Key Macro, and then select Macro Manager; or press Ctrl+Shift+0. (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.)
- Click Add.
- In the Macro name box, type a name for the macro so that you can identify it in the list of saved macros.
- (optional) In the Description box, type a brief description of the macro to help yourself remember what was recorded.
- Under Source, click Save previously recorded macro.
- Click OK.
To play back a saved macro
Once you save a recorded key macro, you can no longer play it back with the Play Macro command (Ctrl+M). To play back a saved macro, use the Key Macro Manager.
- On the Custom toolbar, click Key Macro, and then select Macro Manager; or press Ctrl+Shift+0. (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.)
- In the macro list, select the macro you want to play back.
- (optional) In the Repetitions box, specify the number of times to repeat playback of the macro.
- Click Play Macro or press Alt+P.
To quickly select and play back a saved macro, press Ctrl+Shift+0, type the first few characters of the macro’s name, and then press Alt+P.
