Select OK now and this macro will display another message box. Select CANCEL and the macro will stop executing entirely.MSG_OK These examples really just touch the surface of all you can do with Macro Mania. I wish I could have included more powerful examples, but not knowing what programs you run on your system I didn't want to overdo it and jinx making my point of how easy and powerful this all can be. Once you master the few simple commands, you'll find yourself creating macros for both chores you perform every day as well as quick, temporary macros that still save you a lot of repetitive typing.

Scheduling macros... clock01.ico XXXXXXXXXXXMSG_OK By using the Scheduling feature, you can even set yourself quick "reminders" throughout the day. This macro does not actually use the schedule feature since I have no idea when you'll run this program, but you can easily modify this macro to do so via the "Add/Edit Macros" window.BEEPPAUSE 1BEEPPAUSE 1BEEPMSG_OK Time to take out the trash--does anyone you know need this reminder?? <grin>MSG_OK Of course you can also schedule certain macros to run at a time or interval you specify.
