Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008

Thought I¹d throw out a suggestion for creating simple macros in the Office
2008 apps. I¹ve been able to do this using Quickeys X3 version 3.2.1, a
comprehensive macro program which has vastly improved in usability since the
original version 3.0.  This program has a learning curve but it¹s not nearly
as complex as something like Applescript, I¹ve been happily using it since
the early 1990¹s and I¹m ³just an old country lawyer². Anyone who is an
³intermediate-level² or more experienced Mac user should have no trouble
learning to use it with a little patience. Among other things, it can create
floating toolbars to hold lots of macro buttons, along the same lines as the
Office 2004 apps.

(I have no connection with the publishers of the program.)
