I am unable to get the Auto Correct macro to work. This is a macro submitted by a user and offered for download on the Macro Express web site. My problem seems to be with the first line in the macro: Run Macro Express Editor. It does not work on my system. I just uninstalled 3.5c and installed the new version, 3.5e, and it still does not work. If I press the hot key Ctrl + Alt + Shift + W, it does not work, either. Any idea why? I would love to use this macro, since it apparently makes it easy to create a lot of shortkey macros, one of the main reasons I bought Macro Express.
I should mention that I have been using Macro Express for over six months and have successfully written and used many other macros. My problem is limited to getting the system macro Run Macro Express Editor to work. I suppose if I cannot get it to work, I could try a work-around to open the Editor, but I would rather get it to work as it should.
BTW has anybody gotten this Auto Correct macro to work? I just tried disabling the first 3 lines, which have to do with opening the Editor, opening the Editor manually, and then running the rest of the macro, and it does not work. It must have worked once, because the author got a free T-shirt.
Maybe I should just write my own macro for creating shortkey macros! I have not used variables before, so I would have something to learn.
Seems like to ability to create shortkeys like Auto Correct in Word that work in many programs is one of the greatest values of Macro Express. An easy-to-use way to do it should come with the program--it would make it more appealing to users who are not programmers.
