Macro Express 6 fails to type the text.
amonaghan replied to Bruce Thomson's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Try adding a Keystroke Speed at the beginning of the macro. I usually use 50ms and then lower the time until it fails. -

Can't Launch SnippingTool

I think Terry means you need only copy from the following line: - <COMMENT Value="Open the Start/Search box"/> Alan -
Controlling Macro Express with Cortana
amonaghan replied to amonaghan's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Thanks for that Acantor. My feeling is that I probably don't need voice interaction often enough to justify buying additional software. However, if that changes, I will look into Dragon again. I appreciate your time and reply. Alan -
Controlling Macro Express with Cortana
amonaghan replied to amonaghan's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Thanks Cory. I've actually decided to switch Cortana off. It was intermittently popping up even when I had my microphone physically turned off. I agree, it kept wanting to open Edge if it didn't understand my commands. More trouble than it's worth. I'll stick to typing apart from if I want to dictate a longish document. Alan -
Controlling Macro Express with Cortana
amonaghan replied to amonaghan's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Thanks Cory, I'll keep looking as I don't have Dragon. I know there is some info on getting Dragon working with MEP, but I was hoping I could use what's built in to Win10 if possible. I was trying to close Office apps with Cortana and discovered that it can't be done. Incredibly, MS allows you to OPEN apps with voice commands, but not CLOSE them. Utterly bizarre! Alan -

Thanks Terry, I'll try making time over the weekend to have another look at it. -

Are you sure you don't mean Alt-Enter?

Clipboard contents to variable (with format etc.)
amonaghan replied to Alexis's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Hi Terry. As I'm in the UK too, I'm surprise you don't have 1903 yet as I got upgraded on 3rd July. I think you need to manually invoke 'Check for updates' in order to update it. I haven't noticed any obvious issues so far since updating*. * Don't blame if if you do 🙂 Alan -
Countdown msg box from variable
amonaghan replied to ellinarac's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
This should work a lot smoother. <VARIABLE SET INTEGER Option="\x00" Destination="%Count%" Value="1"/> <TEXT BOX DISPLAY Title="Progress" Content="{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Tahoma;}{\\f1\\fnil Tahoma;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\f0\\fs20 %Count%\\f1 \r\n\\par }\r\n" Left="Center" Top="Center" Width="278" Height="200" Monitor="0" OnTop="TRUE" Keep_Focus="TRUE" Mode="\x02" Delay="1"/> <REPEAT START Start="1" Step="1" Count="10" Save="FALSE"/> <DELAY Flags="\x02" Time="1000"/> <VARIABLE MODIFY INTEGER Option="\x07" Destination="%Count%"/> <TEXT BOX UPDATE Header="Progress" Content="{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil Tahoma;}}\r\n\\viewkind4\\uc1\\pard\\f0\\fs20 %Count%\r\n\\par }\r\n"/> <END REPEAT/> -

acantor, This is what I have always done since version 3. -
macro express blanks
amonaghan replied to yurdalsldrk's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
This should work, although it is a bit slow. If anyone knows of a quicker way, please let me know?

Macro Express Pro 6 (is it worth it?)
amonaghan replied to Alexis's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Terry, I didn't get any email either. I'm in low paid temporary work at the moment, so can't justify the full price for what appears on the whole to be cosmetic changes. I may have made the switch at the (not seen here) discounted price, especially as a long term user. Alan -
<TEXT TYPE Action="0" Text="<RIGHTWIN>"/> The above works for me, if it's of any help. <RIGHTWIN> is in Misc Keys in the Text Type command.

Using <Ctrl>G in Excel to Goto Label
amonaghan replied to Scott_W's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Oddly, when I try <Control>g from a Popup Menu, it doesn't work. That is, a menu item which simply has the command - Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <CONTROL>g -
Simple one-off alarm fails
amonaghan replied to terrypin's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
I'll give it a further look when I get home from work. I did try a simple shut down macro I use very rarely which definitely used to work in Win10, but failed last night. I'll try again creating it from scratch to see if that makes a difference. -
Simple one-off alarm fails
amonaghan replied to terrypin's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
I can't get Scheduled macros to run either Terry. I've tried all the compatibility options and also tried in safe mode, but they won't fire in Windows 10 Home. I'm almost sure that they did before, so don't know if it's connected to recent Windows Update or not. Windows 10 Home Version 1709 Build 16299.371 -
That's what I'm working towards, possibly doing it all from within Excel. I'm going to use MEP to tie all bits together in the meantime until I suss more out. You've given me a really good start though, so thanks again Cory. Having to leave it until the weekend as I am currently job hunting and have an appointment tomorrow to prepare for. (Not an interview yet).

That's excellent Cory. I can work with this now. I looked at that GET too, but didn't expand it enough to see the pricing information. A lot of work still for me to do, but I think I can manage it from here. I've even got some sort of working data in Excel now. Definitely bedtime now. Thanks again, Alan
