Automating repetitive tasks
(Microsoft Office 2000-2010)
Back in December 2004 (no, this is not a typo ;) we talked about automating
repetitive tasks by creating macros. For example, you might want to use
Microsoft's built-in macro recorder to create a keyboard shortcut to "print
this page only" in Word.
Here's how:
- In Office 2000: Choose the Tools, Macro, Record New Macro command. OR
- In Office 2007: On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Record
Macro. (If you don't see the Developer tab, click the Microsoft Office
Button, click Word Options, click Popular and select the Show Developer tab
in the Ribbon check box.) OR
- In Office 2010: On the View tab, choose Macros, Record Macro.
