Display program is running notification

For first time users of the program a message appears above the Macro Express icon in the notification area. The message notifies users that the program is running and to click on the icon to open the Macro Express Explorer window. Clicking on the message dialog causes it to not appear anymore.

Choose this option to have the message appear in the future.

Display the shortkey conflict warning

When using the Prefix key activation method for shortkey activated macros, certain shortkey combinations may conflict with each other. For example, if a shortkey activation is set to 'be' and a second activation is set to 'bet', 'bet' will never play back because 'be' will always play back before typing the last "t" in "bet". The suffix key option does not run into this potential conflict.

The warning message is just a warning of potential conflict. It will not prevent creation of the macro or use of the shortkey.

Select the Don't show this again option to not have the warning display in the future. The warning may be turned back on from the Dialogs preference panel as shown above.

Display the Syntax Error Dialog

If you save your macro with a syntax error, such as a Repeat without an End Repeat or an If command without an End If, an error message will display warning you of the error.

The warning is also displayed in the Messages tab of the Script Editor.

If the suffix key option is turned on, a message will prompt the user to select solitary usage.
