Record Macro dialog box

Macro name

Type a name for the macro you are about to record. The name must begin with a letter and can contain up to 80 letters and numbers. The name cannot contain spaces or symbols.

Shortcut key

Enter the alphabetic character to be used in combination with the CTRL key. Any alphabetical character from "A" to "Z" or "a" to "z" is allowed.

If you select a shortcut that matches a Microsoft Office Visio shortcut, or the shortcut for another macro, the new shortcut takes precedence over the original shortcut. For example, if you record a macro and assign CTRL+C as the shortcut, CTRL+C will no longer work as the Copy shortcut in Visio while the document that contains the macro is open. However, you can change the shortcut at any time.

Store macro in

Select the document in which you want to store the macro you are about to record.

Description

Type a description for the macro you are about to record.
