This macro function launches the separate software "Macro Recorder" and executes the macro automation created in Macro Recorder.

The automation data is stored in the macro (i.e. the phrase file/database).

Double-click the macro opens Macro Recorder, allowing you to edit the automation.

To create a Macro Recorder automation:

1. Create a new phrase in PhraseExpress.
2. In the PhraseExpress macro menu, select Macro Recorder.
3. Record the procedure in Macro Recorder.
4. Exit Macro Recorder.

The Macro Recorder automatisation is represented in the phrase by the macro token within the phrase and stored in the phrase file.

Automation playback and editing of Macro Recorder requires a Macro Recorder installation.

PhraseExpress automates tasks faster, than the controlled application may be able to react and you may need to add delay macros.

This macro function opens the specified file with the default application associated with the file type.

This macro function switches the focus to the specified program based on its window title (e.g. "calculator"). The function is ignored if the specified application is not running.

You can use a wildcard * in the window title definition. For example, "calc*" would match for "calculator" and "calc*".
