Noob Needs Help
Posted: 2020-01-29 06:51:56
I know nothing about programming (language or grammar.)
I want to set up simple formatting macros so that I can place the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph I want to format, run a macro, and have the paragraph change.
The exact parameters of the macro I am trying to accomplish is to set topic subject lines to 35 points.
What I have so far:
Select paragraph
Format:Size:Other
These commands do what I want them to, but I am still having to enter the value "35" manually because I don't know the grammar to put it into the macro. I know this sounds really easy, but I have tried at least 20 different combinations trying to get the value to enter and finish the macro, and none of them have worked. In this particular macro I would also like to set the space after paragraph for 14pts.
I am not completely stupid, so if I can see this one thing and learn how it is structured, I might be able to write the rest of the formatting macros that will get me through some rather large files quickly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
