Macro Express 3.7d

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

We're still trying to figure out if there's anything Macro Express can't do. It can automate typing a phrase, clicking an interface button, ejecting the CD-ROM, dialing a modem, pinging a site, and changing the desktop wallpaper. It can activate shortcuts with hot keys, text aliases, mouse movements, and pop-up menus. Neophytes get a great help file and wizards for just about everything. Power users can edit scripts manually and link macros with conditionals and variables. You can spend hours at play in the fields of the options menu. True, Macro Express takes up a considerable amount of system memory (9MB), and its forbidding interface keeps it (by a hair) from our highest recommendation. But its usability and mind-boggling feature set make it a superb choice for common users and IT professionals.
