listen to the pronunciation of macros
English - English
Macros are a series of command strings (button presses or display selections) that can be recorded for automated playback, either through manual selection of the associated macro number, or from automated activation through the cue sheet
programs that allow the user to use a single input to activate a series of tasks which the computer than performs automatically
Used to automate repetitive database tasks using a series of actions; a self-contained instruction or command
To simplify complicated procedures, many applications allow you to create a script of commands that the application can run This script is known as a macro Hackers have taken advantage of this to create their own macros that, depending on the application, can destroy your data or crash your computer
Programs used to automate tedious or time-consuming tasks The Relex Reliability Software suite provides complete support for macros, including a macro editor, and ready-made macros to use as reference when creating custom macros
are collections of frequently used commands which are grouped together in a file Instead of entering commands individually, users can call the macro and the commands stored therein will be executed automatically Macros may be stored in libraries
plural of macro

In programming languages, a macro is any programming or user interface that defnes a set of instructions that are substituted for the macro name where it appears in a program The macro, when used, expands into something larger than itself
macro

macro
A macro is a shortcut key combination For example, a macro allows one to hit one letter and have it execute a few different commands
macro
- A set of instructions stored in an executable form Macros may be application-specific (such as a spreadsheet or word processing macro that performs specific steps within that program) or general-purpose (for example, a keyboard macro that types in a user ID when Ctrl-U is pressed on the keyboard)

macro
An instruction (usually a keystroke or keystroke combination) that signals the computer to perform a predefined sequence of instructions
macro
pref Large Opposite of {micro-} In the mainstream and among other technical cultures (for example, medical people) this competes with the prefix {mega-}, but hackers tend to restrict the latter to quantification
macro
A series of instructions which would normally be issued one at a time on the keyboard to control a program A macro facility allows the instructions to be stored and issued automatically by a single keystroke
macro
{i} series of commands or keystrokes which may be run like a program (Computers)
macro

macro
A set of keystrokes and instructions that are recorded, saved, and assigned to a short key code When the key code is typed, the recorded keystrokes and instructions execute (play back) Macros can simplify day-to-day operations, which otherwise become tedious For example, a single macro keystroke can set up a connection using pcAnywhere
macro

macro
Usually a short program written to automate several steps Macros are found in many types of software, such as database, spreadsheet, and word processing They often consist of a list of several operations saved in a file under a certain name which can be called from within the program When called by a single word or even a single letter, the entire file of operations is executed (Thus, batch files could be considered macros ) Macros can be used in AutoCAD in scripts and in menus There are some who might call AutoLISP a macro language, but AutoLISP's capabilities go way beyond that of macros
macro
A sequence of commands and/or data input that has been stored for the purpose of fast and easy playback
macro
A file containing a sequence of THE commands Macros can be written in REXX if a supported REXX interpreter is available
macro
-a simple computer program that scripts a series of actions Macros can usually be created without writing any programming code The simplest way to create a macro is to record a series of keystrokes that can then be reused later
macro
Sequence of instructions that for convenience can be executed with one simple command Megabyte-1,000 kilobytes or 1,000,000 bytes Modem-A device that connects your computer via a phone line to another computer or a network of computers MPEG-Motion Picture Experts Group, modern standard format for compression and storage of video hypermedia files Multiplexor-A device where several communication devices can access the same terminal channel simultaneously
macro
Any substitution of a collection of actions for a single action
macro
A combination of commands, instructions, or keystrokes which may be stored in a computer's memory to be executed as a single command by a single keystroke or a simultaneous combination of keystrokes
macro
In Data Explorer, a collection of modules that can be stored with a meaningful name on any Tool Category the user designates, then recalled as many times as needed and placed within a network program, just like modules This permits the programmer to build customized packages, saving time when the same functionality is needed at a later time Macros can have arbitrary numbers of inputs and outputs as specified by the programmer who creates the macro
macro
