Course: Macros 101
with April Michelle Davis, NAIWE’s Executive Director

Do you often perform the same tasks in Microsoft Word? How much time do you waste doing repetitive tasks at the beginning of each project? At the end? How about just in general throughout the editing process?

In addition, you will learn more than one way to create macros so you can create them in the way that is easiest for you!
