Windows XP MS Word, need interactive/live demo, creating a Macro
The little paper clip isn't giving me what I need to understand how to create
a macro. I read it, but do not understand - I need a step by step, interactive/live demonstration on how to do this and to walk me through it. I thought I could find one within the program, but alas..... onto the never ending Web searches. Please, without taking a class, I need to know this for a job interview and quickly. Thank you to whomever can help. |

Thank you to whomever can help. No offense meant, but ... if you are interviewing for a job where writing macros is one of the responsibilities, I'd give it very serious thought first. You're not likely to be able to bluff your way into a stable job situation. While I admit Help isn't much real help, it is a good "reference" so, from the wording of your question, I'd say you would never reach the point of maturity required for such a job anywhere near fast enough to appear experienced at all. Take it from one who has hired a LOT of people for R&D jobs to work under/with me. Bluffs fail when they're related directly to a required job function. They're also easy to spot most of the time.

Dear Pop. Thank you for your insightful ASSUMPTION! I have NEVER or will
ever lie in an interview or try to bluff my way through anything. I used to own my own business as well as manage a Mortgage Company, so I am fully aware of your position in hiring employees. I am far to old to be getting "scolded" on line for no reason. I was merely trying to experience the process of Macros in order to give the EMPLOYER an accurate assessment as to what they could expect from my learning curve once I had some of the basics understood. But yes, the "HELP" is of no help and would drag that learning curve to an unacceptable time line. Without the pais attitude, your comments were not helpful at all, but thank you for your two cents that I wouldn't take even if I were living on the street in a box. (Obviously, you not only offended me but also insulted and annoyed me.)

Thank you Suzanne, this was exactly what I was looking for at 3:00 AM that
morning but couldn't find. You have been wonderful in directing me. "Suzanne S.

Sorry for the tardy reply. From your reference to 3 AM, I gather we're in
the same time zone (my newsreader shows the time on your post as 2:47 AM, but, although I'm both a night owl and an early bird, that is still a bit late/early for me! -- Suzanne S.
