This webinar is for editors who want to get more out of macros. It is structured around the editorial workflow and demonstrates different macros that can be useful at various stages of editing, including two workhorse find-and-replace macros, FRedit and
MultiSwitch. By the end of the class, you will have learned more about how macros can work for you and will have a set of macros ready to use on your next project.
Please note: This webinar assumes you know how to install and run macros and have some experience using them. If you're new to macros, we recommend watching "Demystifying Macros: A Beginner's Guide" first. (It's free for EFA members!)
This presentation is based on a free library of nearly 800 macros designed specifically for editors by Paul Beverly, an editor in the UK. No programming skills are required.
Jennifer Yankopolus (she/her) has been editing in the architecture and design field for 25 years and is an instructor in the University of California, San Diego Copyediting Certificate Program. Since 2020, she has been teaching editors worldwide how to use macros to increase their productivity. Besides teaching the "Word Macros A to Z" course, she regularly leads webinars and workshops around the world to train editors how to edit more efficiently by using macros. To support editors in their ongoing use of macros, she writes the Macro of the Month newsletter, which introduces readers to one new macro each month and provides practical tips.
