Change to Macro mode by clicking the button in the upper right of the screen.
The program switches to Macro mode and the
display is updated.
The first step in programming a macro is to select
the key combinations to use to begin the macro.
Most keys on the keyboard can be used. The most popular keys to use are easy
to remember combinations. Here we will use the combination of the <CTRL>
key and <N> key to create a name macro.
Click on the <N> key on the keyboard displayed on the screen.
Choose <CTRL> under Select a Modifier
at the bottom left of the program screen.
This combination tells the program you
wish to hold down the <CTRL> key and
then, while still holding down the
<CTRL> key, press the <N> key.
Now that the key combination has been
selected, tell the program to change the
result of this key combination. Press the
EDIT button.
The cursor jumps to the box labeled Macro Definition. Type your name, using
the keyboard, or type in a
fictitious name like Jane Doe.
Include any capitalization or
punctuation you would normally
use. If you wish to put your
name on two separate lines, type in your first name then click on the Enter key
on the displayed keyboard, then type in your last name. Notice that the macro
program shows the enter key with the < and > symbols surrounding the
descriptions. All special keys use this method of description.
Click on the Accept button.
Your macro is now recorded.
