[2. How to use EZ Macros]

EZ Macros uses a wizard to guide you through the process of creating a macro.  
Each step comes with complete instructions on the window describing what to do.  
Give it a try!

To create a macro click the <Add> button and a wizard will guide you through the steps.

1. The first thing the wizard will ask you for is to choose a hot key for your new 
macro.  Make sure that the cursor is blinking in the field, then strike the key on 
the keyboard that you wish to attach run your new macro.  We recommend that you 
choose key combinations like <Ctrl+B>, or <Shift+F8>, etc.   If you choose keys 
like <E> or <0>, this could interfere with the way you use your other software.  
For example, if you are using a word processor and you type

"Every good boy does fine"

and you have a macro set up for the <E> key, then your 'E' macro would run instead of 
the 'E' appearing in your word processor's window.

2. You will be asked by the wizard the type of macro you wish to create.  You can choose 
to either launch a program with a hot key, or run a keyboard and mouse macro with a hot 
key.  If you choose to launch a program the wizard will ask you to type the path of the 
program to run.  You may click the <Browse> button to locate a program file.   If you 
type the name of the program, for example, 'NOTEPAD', EZ Macros will search your path, 
and your Windows directory for that program and fill in the path information for you.  
If it cannot find a match, the field will turn red and you will receive a message.  Just 
try again or use the <Browse> button.

3. If you elect to create a keyboard and mouse macro you will see the default settings 
for this new macro.

By default you will be recording keystrokes and mouse movements and clicks.  Keystrokes 
and mouse movements and clicks are also known as 'events'.  If you only want one to 
record one type of event, click on the one you do not want.  Only the events checked 
are the events that will be recorded.

Now notice the 'Playback Speed' field.  The 'Playback Speed' allows you to control 
how fast the macro is played back when you hit your hot key.  If 'Fast' is selected, 
the macro is played back almost instantly.  If 'Recorded Speed' is selected the macro 
will be played back at the speed in which it was recorded.

4. When all of your settings are set the way you like it, click the <Record> button.  
The EZ Macros window disappears, and a green light appears in the tray window (the 
clock window).  When the green light is on you are recording a macro.  Now is the time 
type and/or move your mouse for your macro.  When you are finished recording your macro, 
hit the <Pause> key on your keyboard.  The EZ Macros window will reappear, and the light 
will turn to red.  (The <Pause> key will not be apart of the macro.)

5. After you click the <Next> button, you can enter a description for this macro.  This 
will help you to remember what this macro does when you come back to it later.

To edit a macro click on the macro in the list that you want to edit and click the <Edit> 
button.   The wizard will guide you.  Refer to the instructions for creating a macro.

To delete a macro click on the macro in the list that you want to delete and click the 
<Delete> button.

To disable or enable a macro click on the macro in the list that you want to enable or 
disable and click the <Disable> or the <Enable> button.  The macros with the green light 
are the macros that are currently active.  The macros with the red light are inactive.

To activate the macros click the <Activate Hot Key Mode> button.  Notice that a green 
light in the tray (the clock window) appears.  When you see the green light you know 
that the macros are active.  And whenever you strike the hot key for your macro, the 
macro will run.  When you double click on the green light, the EZ Macros appears and 
the green light turns to a red light.
