This macro action is sometimes called the 'menu macro'. This step might seem redundant, but to create the shortcut menu from the macro object that you created in Step 1, you must create a second macro object that contains the AddMenu macro action.

Save and name the macro object for example, mcrShortcutMenuCommands. If there are more actions that you want to take place when you select this command, add them as separate macro actions within the same submacro. Within the submacro, select the first action you would like to take place when you click the command on the shortcut menu. This letter will be underlined on the menu. Tip:В To create an access key so that you can use the keyboard to choose the command, type an ampersand (&) before the letter that you want to be the access key in the command name (for example, '&Refresh').
