Using macros

Recording macros

Apart from writing your macros, you can record them on the go.

1. Go to the View tab.

   

2. Click the Record macro button.
3. Follow the steps of the process you want to turn into a macro. Only the actions directly corresponding with the ones in Docs API will be recorded, e.g.:
   • format the text;
   • insert images, shapes, and equations.
4. On the View tab, click Pause recording to temporarily halt the recording process, if necessary.
5. Click the Stop recording button to finish the recording process. The resulting macro is saved automatically.

   Recorded macros are generated as JavaScript code that relies on Docs API.

6. To access and edit the recorded macros, click the Macros button on the View tab. Edit the required macro as necessary.

   Please note that all saved macros are not standalone files and are accessible only through the document they are recorded in.
