MacroMaker: How To Simulate a Pause



Is there any way to put in wait states or time delays into a MacroMaker
recording?

MacroMaker has no built-in pause function, but it is possible to simulate a
pause by recording an extended mouse-button press. To create a simulated pause
while recording your macro, press and hold the mouse button for the desired
length of the pause. When you play back the macro, the extended mouse button
press is played back using the same amount of time as when it was recorded.

Be careful to press the mouse button with the mouse pointer in an unimportant
part of the screen. For instance, do not pull down a menu to create the pause
or important activities may be suspended for its duration. Your best bet may be
to hold the mouse button down while the pointer is in a lower corner of the
screen, to avoid affecting the operation of other software.
