Can I automate repetitive jobs if required in your line of work day by day? Are you ready for the surprises? What if we tell you that with a single click, you don’t have to hand raise to do a whole sequence of commands? Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Macros are a series of keystrokes, delays, or mouse clicks typed into a keystroke that is hit to perform a particular computer task on your behalf. Then, how do you create a macro in Windows 10? Let’s find out.
That means you can now spare a lot of time and enhance the functionality and reliability of the work done. Whether it is typing the exact phrase over hundreds of emails in a go or performing the same task in an Excel sheet in one go, Macros are your saviors. Check out the methods.
Method 1: In Excel
The easiest way to capture a macro task is to record a macro if your work directly involves Excel. Check out the steps below to do the same:
1. Go to your computer toolbar and select Excel; at the top toolbar, look for the file option and select option.
2. To do this, click on the Office Button at the top left of the Excel workbook, select Excel Options, and choose Customize Ribbon in the left pane.
3. Click on the Tick on Developer under Main Tabs and then on OK.
4. Now go to the main tab of your Excel sheet and click on Developer in the first available position at the top.
5. Type the macro name, a shortcut key, and a description, then click OK.
6. Complete your job and click the Stop Recording button in the Developer section.
Method 2: In Desktop
If you wish to create a macro for any specific apps on your desktop, follow the steps mentioned below to do the same:
1. Right-click on any app you choose and click Create shortcut.
2. Choose Yes if this is what you want to do.
3. Now, you right-click on the shortcut created above and click on Properties.
4. In the Shortcut tab, type the keys in the Shortcut key field, click apply, then OK.
Method 3: In Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Centre
Keyboard shortcuts are also called hotkeys, groups of one or more keys that can be assigned to perform certain operations within a Windows computer fast. Follow these steps to create shortcut keys:
1. Download the Microsoft mouse and keyboard Centre on your Computer.
2. After connecting the specific keyboard to which you want to assign hotkeys, launch the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Centre.
3. Choose the hot key from the Hotkey list, then you choose a command from the Command list and then click ‘OK’.
Method 4: Via Third-party Apps
Due to the complexity of Windows 10, which does not have a native solution to record all macros across its devices, useful third-party apps can assist you.
1. If you haven’t done this, go to TinyTask’s official page and click Download.
2. Click twice on the TinyTask to show the application’s toolbar.
3. Press the Rec button to begin recording the specific command. In an emergency, use the emergency label button.
4. Record your action, do the action, and click on the Rec button again to stop the recording session.
5. Next, click the exe button that you will come across to save the command that you entered above.
6. When you have finished writing your macros, type in the name for your macro file and then click on Save.
This way, you can run macros easily throughout the whole PC. Essentially, you must open your file at any time to perform the recorded task.
