Macros
So, you've got some macros in your macro file and you discover somebody has a really cool macro you'd like to have. How do you acquire it? The answer is, you import it (from another macro file, not another country).
Step 1: Click on the Import Macros button on the toolbar. It looks like this: 
Step 2: A window will now appear (as shown below) that will allow us to import macros from a macro file. We need to find the macro file that contains the macro we want. Click on the Open File button.
Step 3: A standard Open File dialog box will appear. Navigate to wherever the desired macro file is located and click on the Open button.
Step 4: All of the macros in the macro file you selected will be listed in the Import Macros window as shown below. You may select one macro to import by clicking on it. You can also select more than one macro by holding the Ctrl key down and clicking on each macro you want to import. Also, by clicking on the Select All button, you can import the entire list of macros.
Step 5: Now that you have selected the macro(s) you want, click on the Import button. If things went successfully, you should receive a small message box as shown below.
The macro(s) will now be immediately available for use.
See section following Step 6 if you did not receive the message box shown above.
Step 6: Click on the OK button to close the message box. Macro Express will leave the Import Macros window open. If you want, you can select more macros to import at this point (Step 4 above) or you could open another macro file by clicking on the Open File button (Step 3 above). If you don't need any more macros, just click on the Exit button.
If the macro you are importing has the same shortcut key as a macro in your macro file, it will warn you that you have a duplicate shortcut key. You can still import it, but the new macro will be set to "No Activation." This means you cannot use it until you either set it or the macro shortcut key it duplicated to a new shortcut key. After all, how will Macro Express know which macro to run if they both have the same shortcut key? To set the new macro to a new shortcut key, double-click on it, click on the Properties tab, place a check next to "Hot Key," click on the Select Hot Key button, type in your new shortcut key, click OK, then click on the Save button on the toolbar.
Macro Express will give a Duplicate Name Warning if the macro you are importing has the same nickname as one in your macro file. Having duplicate nicknames will not cause a problem with running the new macro. However, it would be wise to change the nickname of one or the other macro so that you can tell the difference between them, especially if both of them will be in a popup menu. To change the nickname, double-click on the macro, click on the Properties tab, type in something new in the Nickname text box, then click the Save button on the toolbar.
