One of the fastest ways to run a macro is to create a shortcut key for it.
You don't need to put a button on your toolbar or even click anywhere. As a matter of fact, your hands don't even have to leave your keyboard!
You can create a shortcut key to run a macro before you even record it. Follow the steps below to learn how.
- Choose Tools | Macro | Record New Macro or double-click REC on the Status bar.
- Enter the name for the macro.
- Click Keyboard to see the Customize Keyboard dialog box.
- Choose the macro name.
- Click the Press New Shortcut Key box.
- Press the key combination you want to use. If the shortcut key is already in use, the current assignment will appear in the dialog box.
- Click Assign after you have chosen the shortcut key.
- Close the dialog box.
Now, when you press the shortcut keys you assigned, your macro runs!
