Actions that are not recorded
The Macro Record records keystrokes, menu selections, toolbar use, dialog box control use, and so on. Following is a list of Arbortext Editor features and actions that are not recorded.

• The shortcut menu is disabled. (Use the equivalent features on menus or toolbars.)
• The Arbortext Editor command Line is disabled.
• Use of the > menu is not recorded.
• Use of the > menu is not recorded.
• Use of the > menu is not recorded.
• Depending on how a custom application changes the document, the actions may or may not be recorded. For example, if a custom dialog box inserts several elements and content using a string passed to the ACL insert function, that will not be recorded. However, the application could be extended to capture the action for recording by calling the macro_record_cmd function with the appropriate command string. For example,
if (insert(str)) {
macro_record_cmd("insert('" . str . "')");
}
