Yes Michael just 24 lines, but don't dispare; just leave each macro as is and write another that calls them all in turn. You will notice in the macro editor...
Hi Alan, I'm hoping you might shed some light on a problem I'm having with CombineZM. Eight instances are run from a single folder containing CombineZM and its...
Hello Steve, I have not worked out all of the ramifications of what you are saying but while you wait here is a bit of info I can impart *.czm files store...
I don't know if this will work, or is convenient, for you but try ticking the 'Save Work' box in the Batch dialog. Then start CZ and use 'Resume Work' for...
