Running a macro from the Quick Bar
8.1 Introduction to Quick Bar
Quick Bar is a small bar on which you can place your favorite
macros, each shown as a small icon. You can put Quick Bar
always on top at any position on your screen. When you hope to run a macro, just
click corresponding icon on the Quick Bar and the macro will run. You can
show or hide the Quick Bar at any time as you want. If you show the Quick Bar, you can also decide to
show it
as a
horizontal bar, a vertical bar, or only as a one-icon-size mini bar.
