Saving and Exporting Macros

If you have a macro you want to reuse in another application panel, you can export the macro as a .txt file or a .mcr file. You may do the following:

  1. Locate the macro you would like to export

  2. Right-click on the macro to display the macro item's "pop-up menu"; and then click Export Macro..., the fourth menu item.

  3. If you want to save a macro in a different folder, locate and open the folder first, then click Save.
