How can I create my macros in editable form? How can I edit the macros I create using the Macro recorder? Thanks in advance, Tina

although TextPad doesn't provide editing capabilities, try using a regular Hex editor:
A Google search on 'hex editor' gave several good hits. I downloaded a
fancy one at
http://www.bpsoft.com/
but it may be more than you need.
I think XVI32.ZIP at this site may be adequate, and a little
smaller/simpler:
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/f ... /xvi32.htm
Both are pretty small, though... The second one doesn't even "install",
just unzip
to a directory and run it; no registry entries are created. I just tried it
with
your macro file, no problem seeing or modifying the contents.
This is so small (about 400+k) I'll just attach it right now.
Good luck!
Love, Tina

There's also a nifty little hex editor called... TextPad!

You can drop the .tpm macro file into text pad and it will edit it in hex mode.
How to figure out what to type where within that file, well, that's a whole 'nother
ball of wax...

No. Textpad can be used to <b>view</b> in hex mode, but not to edit.
