Missing actions in Macrobuilder

S

SadGrue

I am trying to use the SetValue action in a macro (following instructions
from a manual), but I have discovered that it doesn't exist. When I check
the action drop-down box it isn't there; also PrintOut and possibly others I
don't know about are missing. Nor will it recognize these actions if I type
them by hand. I've seen screenshots of them in tutorial videos I've searched
out, so I trust the manual that they really are supposed to exist.

I thought perhaps the problem was that they are unsafe (I did not notice
anything my manual mentions as unsafe on the drop-down list), but I checked
my trust center and the db is in an enabled, trusted location.

How can I gain access to all macro functions? If it matters, I am using the
60 day free trial of Office Professional.

Thanks.

In the ribbon of the Macro click the button [Show All Actions]. Once pressed
ypu'll find all the options you need.

Thanks. I feel silly for not figuring that out now, but it was driving me
nuts for hours.
