To use it again, just click on the icon you chose in the shortcut panel (in this case, the picture), and voilá! And that’s it! You’ve created your first Macro in Microsoft Word.
Insert the picture in your document, then go back to View->Macros->Stop Recording. The Macro will always search for the picture in that folder once you apply it later. Now click on Insert->Pictures, and navigate to the folder where your chosen picture is. If you’ve been following these steps, Word will now be recording your Macro. Click on OK, and you’ll be brought back to your document. Since we’re adding a picture, we chose the picture icon. Once it’s there, you canĬlick on “Modify” to select the Macro icon that will show in your panel. Go ahead and add our Macro to that list by clicking on “Add”. The “” is our macro: Normal.NewMacros is its path, followed by the name, Test. Notice how Autosave, Save, Undo, and Redo are all on the right-side panel? Like we said above, those are pre-defined Macros,Īnd they’re present in all documents. We’ll go ahead and name our Macro “Test,” as well as writing something simple in the description. If you want the Macro to be available across all documents you create, just store it in All Documents (Normal.dotm). To begin, just select View->Macros->Record Macro.Ī new box will pop up, where you can choose your Macro’s name, whether it runs at the click of a button or through a keyboard shortcut, and where it’s stored.
We’ll give you an example where you can automatically add an image to your documents with a single click.
To start with, you don’t need coding knowledge to build simple, effective Macros in Word. Any pre-defined keyboard shortcut is a Macro. Odds are, you’re already using them if you hit Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on MacOS) to save your documents. Today we’re talking about a function in Microsoft Word that most people don’t know about: Macros, which are rules that map certain behaviors and let you accomplish repetitive tasks automatically. Not only is it tiring to keep repeating the same task over and over, it’s also time you’d probably better spend doing something else. Automation is all the rage nowadays, and with good reason.
