Editing a Macro

In the previous session we learned how to record and playback text-generation macros. You can create as many as you like. You may decide you want a macro to relieve you of that dreary task of typing “Please do not hesitate to contact me….” At the foot of a letter, or your company name and address. Knock yourself out!

It’s quite possible that you made a small typing mistake in recording your telephone numbers. Let’s see how we might go about changing our voice telephone number.

From the menu system choose Tools, Macro, Macros.

Your list of current macros will appear.

Highlight your KeyVoicePhone macro name, then choose Edit.

A window will appear bearing this text:

Sub KeyVoicePhone()
'
' KeyVoicePhone Macro
' Macro recorded 09/20/97 by Christopher Greaves
'
Selection.TypeText Text:="416-555-1212"
End Sub

In the TypeText statement, change the text so that it reads: "(416) 555-1212"

Close the macro window.

Try holding down the Ctrl+Shift+V keys. Your new phone number should be generated in the document.
