To define a new command you use the Define Command keyword:
Define Command ApplyBoldAndItalic
Bold
Italic
End
This new command, as you might expect, will apply both Bold and Italic to the selected text whenever it is used. To use a newly defined command, just type its name as you would any other command. As an example macro, to format both the words “Mac” and “OSX” in a document:
Find All 'Mac'
ApplyBoldAndItalic
Find All 'OSX'
ApplyBoldAndItalic
Some rules about new commands:
• New commands must be defined before they are used.
• Names must be a single word of letters and numbers; no whitespace or symbols allowed.
• New commands can only be used in the macro file that defines them (unless you use a Macro.import statement)
• New commands may not use themselves (recursion is not supported).
