Try using Non formatted text and "Insert Another Command" macro to insert previously defined HTML formatted phrase.

Hi,

Sorry TOM I've tried my best to add the <HR> command into the Macro Command but it doesn't understand it, of course.

Am I missing something, can you tell me how to inject HTML into a No Formatting Send?

Many thanks, I need unformatted so that I can tab through input windows on a form.

Alternatively, I could find a way to send a {TAB} command in the midst of a HTML.

As mentioned by Tom:
- create a Html formatted phrase in any module
- create another phrase - Non formatted
- use Insert another command macro (More/Macros...) to insert the previously created html phrase

Fantatsic it worked - I tried this and failed earlier. I think I know why...

Can I hide my HTML Items for the Macro? They contain nothing more than components to achieve a result.

I have an extensive and particularly welll formatted start menu/board (Ask Marko lol)

Cheers,

Chris

OK I added it to a second menu that has no shortcut key access so it won't get called up.

I tried to untick it, but this disables it from being called by a macro.

Maybe that could be an option, to allow macros to call an unticked item?
