A Microsoft Word template (.dotm) with associated Normal.dotm used to implement a daily Electronic Notebook at MicroCODE Inc.
This is a tool for taking taking notes, keeping track of Tasks, etc.
- This shows the result of using the CTRL-ALT-* macros to take notes during a MIT xPRO class.
This application was built on Microsoft Word and includes a Normal.dotm (Word Template File) containing all the macros for efficient note taking.
- Backup your Normal.dotm -- in case you've made changes you're unaware of now.
- Replace your existing Normal.dotm file with the included...
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
- In Microsoft Word assign the Keycords for the supplied macrors.
- The directions for doing this are on the last couple pages of the notebook template file.
The macros are written in Visual Basic for Application (VBA) which underlies all Microsoft Office products.
| Word or Acronym | Description/Definition |
|---|---|
| Macro | Canned code that can be executed as an extension of another App. |
| VBA | Visual Basic for Application, a version of Basic built into all Microsoft Office Products to create Macros and hence custom application. |
