Installing a Macro File

A macro file contains one or more macros. To make these macros available, you must install the macro file.

Choose Customize from the Tools menu.
Choose the Add-ins and Macro Files tab.

The name of the macro file appears in the window. If the name of the macro file does not appear, choose Browse to locate the file.
Select the name of the macro file that you want to load.

The IDE adds a check mark, indicating that the file is loaded. This check mark also directs the IDE to load the file automatically the next time you start the program.

If you clear the check mark from a macro file, the IDE unloads it and all of the macros in the file lose their toolbar and keystroke assignments. Additionally, the IDE does not automatically load the macro file the next time you start the program.

If you assign a macro to a toolbar button or key sequence, you can run the macro by choosing the button or pressing the assigned keys.
