Macros

Use the Macros feature in Accuro to create shortcuts for repetitive text. Macros enable the user to save text and phrases they use regularly under a name. When you select macros and then the name all the text is automatically inserted into your note or letter.

This is an excellent time saving device for all those phrases and notes that you use regularly and would rather not have to type out time after time.

When you are in a letter or note right-click for the Macro options.
