A previously recorded or programmed set of instructions that automatically execute one after another. The main purpose of macros is to provide automatic test procedures.
A series of instructions, which normally are issued one after the other on a computer keyboard in order to execute a program, but which can be stored on the computer and executed automatically with one keystroke. A macro is created to execute with one (or a few) keystrokes what would take much more.
A macro is a saved set of instructions for a program such as a word processor or email reader. Originally, macros were intended to allow a computer user to save time by programming time consuming tasks into reusable sets of instructions. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous programmers send documents via email containing harmful macros that perform unwanted tasks such as deleting your files, or sending obscene messages to everyone in your address book. Most programs allow you to disable macros to prevent these harmful tasks from being carried out.
A set of instructions written in a high-level programming language that manipulate the commands in a GIS to perform specific predefined tasks or processes. Macros typically provide enhanced user access both to limited portions of an extensive GIS database as well as to certain GIS analysis tools or procedures. Sometimes called "shells." The map of Minnesota is at a relatively larger scale than the map of the U.S.A. (See definition below.)
A kind of computer shorthand that reduces many commands to one, making it easy to activate frequently-used functions. (7/96)
A series of instructions that would normally be issued one at a time on the keyboard to control a program. A macro facility allows them to be stored and issued automatically by a single keystroke.
When used alone and not as a prefix. A string of commands that enable the computer used to assign multiple keystrokes to a single key.
software capability of storing a series of steps that can be activated and used easily; macros save time when the same steps are used repeatedly for a particular activity.
A sequence of keyboard strokes or other steps that a user records for later use with a specific application. Once the macro has been recorded, the sequence can be launched automatically when the user clicks an icon or presses a hot key, or when a certain event occurs, such as a telephone ringing. Macros are commonly used to eliminate repetitive tasks and speed up procedures.
Series of menu selections or commands that have been assigned a name or key.
A binding of a name to a string.
A set of keystrokes and instructions that are recorded, saved, and assigned to a short key code. When the key code is typed, the recorded keystrokes and instructions execute (play back). Macros can simplify day-to-day operations, which otherwise become tedious.

This usually refers to a means of executing a group of instructions within a program. Many programs offer the capability to put together macros so that you don't have to do the same group of repetitive instructions one by one. You can program the macro to do any number of instructions. Many programs allow you to extend the simple macro languages that they provide with other, more complex programming languages.
A sequence of pre-determined commands used to automate repetitive tasks. For instance, if you frequently use a function hidden deep inside the pull-down menu hierarchy of a program that supports keystroke macros, the only thing you should do is recording the necessary keystrokes, and assigning a shortcut key to play your macro. Some software applications such as Microsoft Office uses programming languages (in this case Visual Basic) to write advanced macros that go beyond simple keystroke recording.

A macro is a series of instructions designed to simplify repetitive tasks within a program such as Microsoft Word, Excel or Access. Macros execute when a user opens the associated file. Microsoft's latest macro programming language is simple to use, powerful, and not limited to Word documents. Macros are in mini-programs and can be infected by viruses. See Also: Macro Virus
a macro is a series of instructions that are designed to be performed automatically by a program such as Word, Excel or Access. These are in fact mini-programs, and as such may be infected by viruses. Documents, databases and spreadsheets are not programs and should therefore be free from the effects of viruses, but in each of these file types it is possible to insert virus-prone macros. Macro viruses, as their name suggests, therefore affect documents, databases and spreadsheets that incorporate these programs known as macros.
Series of keyboard, mouse actions, and/or other computer steps recorded to be run quickly and easily. Macros are commonly created for operations that are commonly performed on a computer. Using a macro allows a user to quickly perform an operation with a press of a key or the execution of a command.

A shorthand for doing complex tasks. For all intents and purposes, acts like a function.
interface: A series of commands, mouse movements, and keystrokes that are recorded and played back (actually, reenacted). Macros are used to automate complex or repetitive tasks. They are created typically by having the computer record a series of actions as you go through them (this is called a "watch me" macro) or by writing out instructions in a special programming language. The languages used for making macros are usually not as powerful as traditional programming languages, and so they are often called "scripting" languages, and the macros are called "scripts."
