Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

MACRO RUN
 
Procedures: <Running a macro>
 
Use the Macro Run command to run a <macro>.
 
■ Before you can run a macro, the <glossary>
  containing the macro must be open.
 
■ Back up your current document before running a
  new or modified macro, so that you can recover
  your work if the macro does not run properly.
 
■ Word provides a number of useful macros in the
  MACRO.GLY file. For more information, see
  the "Macros Supplied with Word" section in
  Chapter 22, "Macros," in the Using Manual.
 
■ Macros run properly only if the function keys
  and Ins and Del keys are configured as the
  macro expects. If you alter the default key
  assignments, you can insert the supplied
  macros, set_function_keys5 or
  set_function_keys55, at the beginning and/or
  end of a macro to ensure the right function key
  assignments.
 
■ Many keystrokes for Word 5.5 have changed from
  Word 5.0. For any macro written for Word 5.0 to
  run properly in Word 5.5, it must be converted
  to reflect these changes. Use the macro
  conversion utility, MACROCNV.EXE, to convert
  Word 5.0 macros for use with Word 5.5.
 
■ To run a macro again, press F4.
