Creating Macros
If you find yourself frequently doing the same routine task, you might be able to accomplish the same text much faster by creating a macro. A macro is a series of Word commands and instructions that are grouped together and executed as a single command. This lesson will show you how to create a macro by recording the tasks you want the macro to execute for you. Perhaps you have to complete a form that you will either print or email. The same information must be typed into the form each time you use it. For this example, we will record a macro to fill in our name, employee number and date.

Creating a Macro to Complete a Form


1. Locate the file called ABC Macro Practice and open the file. 2. Save the file to the hard drive by clicking FileSave As and choose Documents and click Save. 3. Be sure the insertion point is i n the blank cell under Employees Name. 4. Click the View tab, click the down arrow and then click the Record Macro button.

5. In the Macro name box, type ExpenseReport. [*Do not space between Expense and Report or the name will not save correctly.] 6. In the Description box, type This macro automatically fills in information for my Expense Report and click OK.

7. The Record Macro dialog disappears and you are returned to the document with the Macro toolbar and new pointer.

8. In the Employees Name box, type your name, press the TAB key and in the Employee Number box, type 12345-08 and press the TAB key; in the Date Filed box, click the Insert tab and then click the Date & Time in the Text group, choose the date format as mm/dd/yy and be sure the automatically update box is checked; press the TAB key 5 times to place the insertion point in the Expenses box. 9. Click the View tab, click the down arrow and then click then click Stop Recording.

10. Close the file without saving it. 11. Open the same file and be sure the insertion point is in the blank Employee Name box and click the Macros button on the View tab, click View Macros. 12. Locate the ExpenseReport macro and click Run. The form is completed by using the Macro. 13. Close the document without saving it. Many times while typing documents you need to type your name, job title, and spell check the document. Imagine how much time you will save if you create a macro to do just that? We will now create a macro that will type a closing, your name, job title, and spell check the document. We will also assign a keyboard shortcut to the macro so it will save a few steps when running it.

Creating a Macro & Assigning a Keyboard ShortCut


1. Locate the file called Ltr Macro Practice and open the file. 2. Save the file to the hard drive by clicking FileSave As and choose Documents and click Save. 3. There are words misspelled in the document so you can see how the Macro works. Do not make corrections. 4. Click so the insertion point is at the end of the last paragraph. 5. Click the View tab, click the Down Arrow on the Macro button and then choose Record Macro.

6. In the Macro name box, type MyClosing. [*Do not space between My and Closing or the name will not save correctly.] 7. In the Description box, type This macro automatically fills in my closing, name, and runs spell check. 8. Click the Keyboard icon and assign ALT+C and click OK. Always use ALT in macros because ALT is not used in most keyboard shortcuts. The C will stand for the word closing.

9. Click the Assign button and then click close. 10. The Record Macro dialog disappears and you are returned to the document. 11. Press the ENTER key twice. We would always press enter twice after the last sentence in a letter and putting this in the macro saves a step. 12. Type Sincerely, press the ENTER key 4 times. 13. Type your First and Last name, press the ENTER key 4 times. 14. Type Catering Manager as your job title. 15. Press the F7 key on the keyboard, make spelling corrections and then click the Macro button and click Stop Recording. 16. Close the document without saving it. 17. Open the same document and be sure the insertion point is at the end of the last paragraph. 18. Press ALT+C. 19. Close the document without saving it.

Workgroup Collaboration

The process of working together in teams, sharing comments, and exchanging ideas for a common purpose is called workgroup collaboration. When you work in groups, the different tasks are often divided among the team members. The team then meets to review each others work, comment on it, and suggest changes. Word allows members to review documents without having to meet face-to-face. Comments can be made directly on the computer. Some changes are marked in the text of the document, and others are displayed in balloons that appear in the margin. Each reviewers comments will display in a different color.

Customizing Word

If you use Microsoft Word 2010 only occasionally, you might be perfectly happy with the default environment options and behind-the-scenes settings. However, if you create many documents, you might find yourself wishing that you could change aspects of the program to customize it for the types of documents you create. You can modify default settings in Word. There are several options and we will change at a few of them.
