Sharing macros back and forth between v 3 users and Pro users

[ejs]

Macro Express Pro has conversion routines which allow it to run macros that were written in v 3. But there are various methods to load a macro into macro express. Which methods work with the conversion routines, and which methods do not work forcing the user to manually adjust the v 3 macros.

 

For example, some of the methods are:

open macro file (*.mex)

import macro

import playable macro

macro command to run macro from text file

pasting the clipboard containing macro commands into the scripting editor

 

And how about sharing macros that I write in Macro Express Pro with colleagues that are still on v 3? Assuming that my macro does not contain a command that is a new function introduced in Pro, can I export the macro written in Pro so that a v 3 user can import the macro? Or are there enough changes such that macros written in Pro cannot go back to v 3 (e.g., Remark command renamed to Comment command, the addition of error handlers needed for some commands in Pro).

Anytime a macro is opened, imported, pasted, etc. it is converted. Once converted, it will no longer work in Macro Express 3. If you need to share macros with someone using Macro Express 3 you will need to write it in Macro Express 3.
