This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this problem, edit the macro created by the macro recorder to include one of the following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications statements.

To Run Pick Voice
CommandBars("Tools").Controls(2).Execute
