-====== MACRO EXPRESS: CAPTURING THE MOUSE! ======

-Make sure ALEPH is open and not minimized before you begin. ​ Follow the directions provided by the quick wizard screens and click on the underlined items as follows: 
- 
-  - Quick Wizards (icon on left) 
-  - Welcome to Macro Express Quick Wizards! ​ Macro  
-   - Please Select a Wizard ​  ​Capture a Macro 
-  - Capture a Macro  <​Next>  ​ 
-  - Do you wish to capture keystrokes (I chose Yes) 
-  - Do you wish to capture the mouse movements and clicks? ( I chose Yes, Screen, Capture all mouse movements) 
-  - Do you wish the macro to play back <Choose your speed> ​ NOTE: Use Same speed as recorded if you are opening new windows. ​ The macro may not be able to keep up with speedier processes when the system is slow.  Otherwise, experiment with faster speeds. 
-  - The following is a list of all of the window titles…. ALEPH (etc.)… NOTE:  If ALEPH (etc.) does not display, be sure the ALEPH window is open and not minimized before beginning creation of the macro. 
-  - Choose an activation for the macro  Hotkey 
-  - Select a hotkey from the list below <choose a hotkey> ​ NOTE: The hotkey may be keyed in.  ​ 
-  - Would you like this macro to Play back in specific programs (Or choose Play back in specific windows if creating a macro that does not switch between windows. ​ Limiting to windows will probably prevent the macro from running wild in the wrong window but I haven’t tested this.) 
-  - Play back macro in specific program (or windows) ​ SELECT 
-  - Select ​ <​CATALOG.EXE>​ etc. (or in windows choose ALEPH …), ADD, OK 
-  - Play back macro in specific programs (or windows) ​ <​NEXT>​ 
-  - Macro nickname <Name your macro> <​FINISH>​ 
-  - When you are ready to record, press <OK>, do your thing, then press the HOTKEY to stop macro. ​ Every mouse movement, key stroke, and text entry is recorded. 
-  - When recording is done, the program returns you to your macro list.  (I’m not sure if you need to press Ctrl S to save but I do just in case.) 
-  - To test the macro, place your cursor at the starting point and play.  Hopefully, VIOLA!
