Word Macros

How do you write an auto format macro in Word?

RE: Word Macros

Select some text, then Tools - Macros - Record New Macro.
Apply the formatting changes, then stop recording.

To apply the formatting to other text, slect the text, then run the macro.

However, using the Format Painter or effective use of Styles may be more effective

Word tip:

Now you see it, now you don't - hidden text in Word

Did you know you can choose to temporarily hide text in a Word document? The text is still part of the document, but it won't appear on screen unless you choose to have it displayed.

Here's how:

1. Highlight (select) the text you wish to hide.

2. Go to Format - Font.

3. In the Effects section of the Font dialogue box, tick 'Hidden'.

4. Click OK.

The portion of text you have chosen to hide should no longer be visible on your screen, unless you have the Show/Hide button turned on.

If you can see the hidden text in your document, and you haven't got the Show/Hide button turned on then:

1. Go to Tools - Options - View.

2. Under the 'Formatting marks' section, deselect Hidden text.

5. Click OK.
