Need simple Word 2010 Macro for Copy/Paste - Serious MT
Posted: Feb 14, 2014
I've been using Instant Text for years but realized that there are probably quite a few macros I could create in Word 2010 to make certain repetitive commands a lot easier for me. I know the basics of creating a macro in Word but cannot for the life of me figure out how to create a macro to do this:
I want to copy text,(i.e. from a Preoperative Diagnosis) and have it pasted into the next line after the heading Postoperative Diagnosis when the dictator says "same."
I tried recording a macro that begins with pressing SHIFT + the down arrow twice which copies the text up until the hard return symbol. Then I pressed CONTROL+C to copy, then the down arrow again, then CONTROL + V to paste.
While this works if the text I am trying to copy is only as long as the length set when recording the macro, I am trying to find a way so that the macro knows to copy the text until it reaches a hard return.
If anyone already has a macro like this created or can guide me, it would be much appreciated!
I did that! - SeasonedMT
[ In Reply To ..]I also work in Word 2010 and use Shorthand, so my way of doing it is a little different. But try this: Ctrl/Shift/down arrow selects text to the end of a paragraph (i.e., hard return). So try that in your macro instead of just Shift/down arrow twice. If it works you can assign that macro to a hotkey in IT which also adds another level of quickness to your work... Let me know!

[ In Reply To ..]"i.e. hard return" should be deleted. But Control/Shift/down arrow is the command that selects text to end of paragraph.

Printscreen usually works to copy a screen image, and you can paste that from the clipboard to any program, like Paint. When you cannot use the "Print Scrn" key to copy, just open up your task manager "control+alt+delete," and when that pops up THEN you can "print scrn and paste with the report in the background.

Hey everyone. Why is my macro disappearing everytime I close word? I don't normally use macros but for this instance I am.

Macro In Word To Go Back And Capitalize Something?
Apr 20, 2010

Is there an way to create a macro that can go back and do that so that I don't have to either backspace out or stop and go back and correct and then carry on? I'm thinking to do a find function to go find the last period and then tell it to skip to the next letter, but I'm not entirely sure how that would go. If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd really app ...
