First macro bombed
#1
I'm trying to create a macro that copies some data from a MS WORD file, alt-tabs over to WordPerfect (both of which are open), dumps the data, then returns to MS WORD. Problem is (and I'm new at this) is that it bombs after doing the copy in MS WORD. I think what's going on is that 3 windows are open:

1. MS WORD
2. WorePerfect
3. Quick Macros

So...when I hit alt-tab...instead of loading WordPerfect, it switches to Quick Macros instead.

I've tried setting up QM to launch via a hot key..but when I load MS WORD, and strike the hot key...nothing happens. The macro will run from within QM, but won't switch from WORD to WP.

Any advice on how I can get this to work?

When you record such macro, it creates code like this.
Macro Macro1561
Code:
Copy      Help
act win("Document1 - Microsoft Word" "OpusApp")
'Cc
'AT
act win("Document - WordPad" "WordPadClass")
'Cv
'AT
Remove the 'AT lines.

If a hot key does not work, maybe the macro or the folder is disabled. Or QM is disabled. Or the hotkey is already used somewhere. Try other hotkey.
