Menu Macros

A menu macro shows a popup list of other macros and runs the one you choose.

When to Use a Menu Macro

Use this type when:

• one trigger should give you several choices
• you want to group related macros together
• you want a cleaner way to launch a small set of tools

Create a Menu

1. Click Add.
2. Choose Display a menu of macros to run.
3. Choose the trigger.
4. Move macros from Your macros into Your menu.
5. Give each menu entry a name.
6. Set the menu title.
7. Test the menu.

Controls on the Create a Menu Page

• left list: all available macros
• Add: moves the selected macro into the menu list
• Remove: removes the selected menu entry
• Clear: removes all menu entries
• Title: changes the menu title
• Test the Menu: shows the popup so you can try it
• right list: the macros that will appear in your menu

Menu Entry Names

When you add a macro to the menu, EZ Macros asks what you want to call that entry. That name can be different from the macro description in the main list.

Testing Tips

• add only two or three items first
• test the title before you finish
• keep entry names short so the menu is easy to scan

What a Menu Macro Does Not Do

• it does not copy another macro into the menu
• it does not replace the source macro

The menu still points to existing macros. If you need to change what one menu item does, edit that macro itself.
