There are many support tools on word that you may not know such
as word counter, Macro,...
Today we will introduce to you Macro. Macro is an abbreviation for
the word macroinstruction. This is a recorded sequence of commands
so that it can be replayed (executed) later. Macros can reduce the
amount of work that you do frequently. The great thing about
creating macros in Word is that you don't need to know how to
program.
Why should you use macros in Word?
With macros, you can get the same result by clicking a command
instead of going through all the steps. Some situations where you
can use macros to increase work efficiency are:
Insert your logo and company name into a specific typeface.
Insert a table that you need to create often.
Format documents with certain characteristics such as page
numbering and separate paragraph spacing.
All in all, creating and using macros is a skill that can be
learned easily but is highly effective.
How to see how many macros in Word
You've heard of macros being malicious things because they can
contain viruses. In addition, you are advised to be careful when
opening Office documents from unknown people as they may assign
malicious macros. However, that is not the problem here. You create
your own macro, so you can use it with confidence.
There are more than 950 commands in Word, and most of them are on
menus and toolbars. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to perform
one of those commands. However, some commands are not assigned to
menus or toolbars by default. Before you create your own macro in
Word, check if it exists or is brought to the toolbar. To see the
commands available in Word, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open your document on your computer and select the View tab
on the toolbar.
Step 2: Select Macros in the Macros section. This is the last
option in the View tab.
Step 3: Select View Macros. Alternatively, you can also press the
Alt + F8 keyboard shortcut to access the Macros dialog box.
Step 4: In the Macros dialog box, select Word Commands located in
the Macros in section.
Step 5: In the alphabetical list of command names, use the mouse to
select the command and see the description below in the
description.
If the macro command you want to create exists, do not copy it with your own Word macro. If it doesn't exist, continue creating the Word macro.
