This dialog, which is re-sizable, can be accessed in any of the following manners.

•click the find button near the macro menu of the macros manager

•click on the find button at the top right of the macros options script line property editor

•select find macro from the file menu of the macros editor

•Select Find Macro from the Macros menu of the main window.

The Search Text is entered at the top of the advanced data grid, at the left of the dialog.

➢The list of found macros includes macros whose name contains the search text, as well as macros whose source code contains the search text, as shown in the image above.

➢Right-click on any macro to list all the scripts that use that macro.

At the bottom of the dialog, the left-most button’s label and action depend on how you opened the Find a Macro dialog:

•Open: when opened from the main window’s toolbar or Macros menu, the Find a Macro dialog opens the selected macro in the Macros Editor.

•Select: when opened from the Macros Options property editor, the Find a Macro dialog selects the macro for the currently selected macro index, without opening the Macros Editor.
