i defined a bounch of macro with textpad on one computer(comp1). now on another computer(comp2), which has textpad installed as well, i would like to use those macro defined on comp1.

is there any way i can copy or whatever procedure from comp1, instead of re-defining those macro on comp2? thanks

Put the macros in a shared folder on the network. Then set the path for the macro folders to that shared folder using
Configure/Preferences/Folders/Macros

When making configuration changes I find it best to follow these steps, especially for any changes in Classes:

1. Close all other copies of TextPad.
2. Close all open documents, INCLUDING THE DEFAULT NEW BLANK DOCUMENT.
3. Make the changes you want: Configure/Preferences/......
4. Apply and OK your way out the configurations.
5. Close TextPad.
6. Open TextPad again, and your changes should be good.
