## Begin Recording Macros

To record a macro, do one of the following:

1. Go to the Macros menu, then select Begin Recording Macro.
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+R.

The cursor will now have a little red "record" sign in it when it is hovering over a text document. This means you are recording a macro: all of your text editing actions, such as typing, cut, copy, paste, delete, join lines, undo and redo, etc. are being recorded!

Once you stop recording your macro, you will be prompted for a name for it, for future identification.
