Problem

Symptoms: A customer created a macro that typed a letter. The first time she ran the macro (Alt-L), it worked correctly. However, when she pressed Ctrl-Enter to create a hard page and pressed Alt-L again, the macro made a paper size/type code for an envelope instead of the Standard Letterhead that she needed.

Another customer's text was overprinting in Times Roman 12 point. Solutions: The customer edited the macro and discovered that the codes included {Up}{Up} after the codes to enter the Format, Page, Paper Size/Type menu. This was fine on the execution of the macro because it moved the cursor up two places to where the Letterhead was. On the second time, though, {Up}{Up} made the macro move from Letterhead to Envelope. The customer changed the {Up}{Up} to N for name search, typed letterhead{Enter}, and then continued on with the selection process. After this, the macro worked correctly.

When creating macros, do not use the arrow keys to select a font, paper size/type, etc. Instead, use the Name Search option. Using Name Search will ensure that the same option is always selected even if a new font/form is later created. When using the Name Search option, be sure to type the entire name of the option desired.
