Macros in fact are actions which we record. We can assign shortcuts to them for easy use. Check here for “How to create a macro”. If you have a Macro and often use it while working with the documents, Workbooks, Presentations or Database, you might use shortcut keys to run the Macro or the VIEW | DEVELOPER tab.

There is another way to easily use a Macro and that is creating a Command Button for the Macro. After creating a button, just a click is required to run the Macro.

Below are the Steps:

You must have a recorded macro to proceed.

I’ve tried this for MS word 2013.

 Select the Quick Access Toolbar’s drop-down button and choose More Commands.

 Complete the Process:

No. 1: Choose Macros from the list.

No. 2: Select the Macro that you want.

No. 3: Click “Add”.

No. 4: Check whether your macro is added to the list or not.

No. 5: Click Modify.

Assign Icon to Macro:

No.1: Select an Icon for your Macro.

No. 2: Give a name to your Command Button.

No. 3: Click “OK”.

All Done!

This is the example below;

Inspect Document is a great and necessary tool for Microsoft Office users. While working with MS Word, it automatically saves and keeps some hidden data. These data could be any personal information, hidden comments, hidden texts, XML data and etc.

In order to avoid MS Word from keeping hidden information and personal data with itself, “Inspect Document” must be applied on it.

After the completion of your document apply “Inspect Document”, if you never want your information go out of your PC or out to place where you don’t want.

“Inspect Document” is mentioned as “Inspect Workbook” in excel and “Inspect Presentation” in PowerPoint.

Here are some steps for inspection of any word document:

No 1: Save your document and move to Backstage view by clicking on FILE Tab.

No 2: Select “Info” from left sidebar, if it isn’t selected.

No 3: Find the option “Inspect Document” and click on the dropdown button left to that, named as “Check for issues”.

No 4: Click the first command “Inspect Document” from the list.

Selection: A new window appears. Select the contents that you want to inspect for and then Click “Inspect”.

A: Click “Remove all” for each content which you don’t want MS Word to keep with itself.

B: Re-inspect.

C: Close.

Finally Your Inspection is completed and you can send your document anywhere. 

Best of Luck!
