Macros: Recording, Editing, and Using
The success of any piece of software is the degree to which it does what you want it to do. If a program works the way you want it to, you'll keep using it. If not, chances are good that you'll find another program that meets your needs. Fortunately, Word provides dozens and dozens of ways you can customize it to help it perform tasks as they need to be performed. Part IX shows you how to change the aspects of Word you don't like, to sculpt Word into a word processing environment that fits the way you work.
Chapter 29 shows you how to take full advantage of Word's greatest and most flexible asset, the keyboard. Chapter 30 focuses on the Quick Access Toolbar and the Ribbon, so you can put the commands that you need front and center. One of Word's most powerful yet confusing features is its dizzying array of options and settings, which you tackle head-on in Chapter 31. Chapter 32 gives you a running start with Word's most powerful feature—macros, which are based on Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications.
