Creating and Using Macros

Abstract

Word 2007 offers many features that save you time, including building blocks, themes, and templates. These built-in features eliminate the need to perform numerous repetitive tasks. Some tasks, however, still require multiple commands. And sometimes, to complete a task, you need to click several buttons or open dialog boxes and select one or more options. These tasks, although not usually very complex, can be tedious, time-consuming, and prone to error. If you perform these tasks repetitively, you can save time using macros.
