Now that our macro is recorded, we can make this table at any time we like. Once the table is done, we click “View,” then “Macro” again, and then click “Stop recording.” Because our actions are being recorded, we should be careful and not make any mistakes!
In this example, we create our table and fill it out with the essential fields. While it’s recording, any actions you now perform in the document will be remembered in the macro. Now that you have set up the method of activation, Microsoft Word will begin recording your actions. Once you’ve found the perfect key combination, click “Assign.” Word will let you know if anything is currently assigned to that hotkey so you don’t interfere with existing shortcuts. It’s compatible with quite a few combinations, such as Ctrl + and Ctrl + Shift +, so pick out a hotkey that suits you. If you select the keyboard option, you can define which hotkey to assign the macro to. Pick something that suits your macro, then OK out of all windows. Here you can choose what icon your button uses. With the macro still selected, click “Modify…” at the bottom of the list. This is where we want our button, so we’ll select the macro and click “Add >” to add it to the list on the right. It may look confusing at first, but it’s just Word allowing you to add the button to the Quick Access bar.
If you select “Button,” you’ll be taken to a new popup window. Underneath the naming box are two buttons, “Button” and “Keyboard.” This is where you pick if you want to activate your macro via a button within Word or by pressing a hotkey on your keyboard. For this example we’ll call it “CreateTable.” To do this, we click on “View,” then “Macros,” then “Record Macro.” This might be a useful feature if you occasionally see yourself needing to create a new table without manually making a new one or copy-pasting an existing table.įirst, we need to tell Microsoft Word how to make our table. So now that we know what they do, let’s learn to make a macro in Microsoft Word! In this example we’ll be creating a macro that automatically creates a table.
