Macros
A macro is a set of recorded commands that
automates a given task. Pressing one keyboard
command starts the macro, executing the entire
series of assigned commands. Using macros can
significantly increase your productivity because
it allows you to automate frequently used tasks.
Use macros for repetitive or complex tasks such
as inserting your name and address into a
document, launching a program, or copying and
pasting data from one file to another.
The first time you create a macro, the unit
automatically creates a file called “macros.sys”
and places the file at the end of the files list.
When recording macros, keep the following
points in mind:
• You can create up to 64 macros with each
macro comprising 63 keystrokes.
• Use meaningful alphabet name designations
or Braille symbol designations when naming
your macros.
• Carefully plan and record your macros to avoid
keystroke errors. (This is important when
creating a macro that edits text or
manipulates files).
Recording macros uses the following basic
steps.
