- | Make sure ALEPH is open and not minimized before you begin. Follow the directions provided by the quick wizard screens: | ||
- | |||
- | - Quick Wizards (icon on left) | ||
- | - Welcome to Macro Express Quick Wizards! Choose <Macro> | ||
- | - Please Select a Wizard <Capture a Macro> | ||
- | - Capture a Macro <Next> | ||
- | - Do you wish to capture keystrokes? <Yes> | ||
- | - Do you wish to capture the mouse movements and clicks? <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 shifting between 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! | ||
