Re: Macros (AppleWorks UltraMacros)

[NoMoreSpam <NoMoreSpam@haha.net>]

Robert,

Several UltraMacros 'dot' commands rely upon expressing the category as an
integer, rather than as a string name.

Deleting a couple of categories may have reshuffled the deck, so to speak.
(e.g. - If Category 'Name' was #7, and previously defined Categories 'Phone'
and 'Zip' are deleted, 'Name' _may_ now become #5.)

Without AppleWorks in front of me, I can't remember if the category
'numbers' correlate with the order they are shown on the screen, or whether
the numbers correspond with the order in which they were created. I
_believe_ it is the latter.

I would look at your macro source code and subtract '2', recompile, and try
again.
