= SUMMARY =

In Works, it is possible to create a macro where part of the macro invokes that same macro. When you start the macro, it will run continuously. To stop the macro, do one of the following:


 * For Works version 1.0 or 1.05, press CTRL+ESC.
 * For Works version 2.0 or 3.0, press ALT+SLASH (/).

NOTE: The mouse is not disabled while the macro is running. If you choose a menu item with the mouse while the macro is running, erratic program behavior may occur.
