Overview

 

Macro Toolworks 9.3.0, www.macrotoolworks.com

The Macro Toolworks allows user to create "macros" to simplify, speed up, and remove errors in repetitive tasks (such as typing the same phrases, copying/deleting files, downloading files, etc.).  The Macro Toolworks allows user to create and use at once multiple macro files that are represented as tabs in the main window (see below). Macros in each macro file are organized in macro groups that have a tree structure. Each macro group can contain multiple macros. Macros from the selected group are showing in the list. The macro selected in the list is displayed in the macro editing are (bottom-right area of the main window) where user can edit its content and properties.

 

The main window of the program looks like this:
