Message Box

 

Use the Message Box to display messages during the playback of the macro. Use this function to create reminder messages. Set the macro to run on a schedule to remind of an important event. Or generate the message box to instruct users of what to do next in the macro.

 

This option is similar to the Text Box Display command, but with several differences. The message box displays one of several message icons. Several of the icons produce an accompanying Windows sound when the message box is displayed. But there are no options for dictating the length of time that the box should appear or rich text features.
