This returns you to the Word Page and a symbol of a tape cassette appears on the screen

Take your Time there is no reason to hurry the recording will not stop until you click the little black square on the tape symbol to stop recording. You now type the above doing the __Enter__ after Sirs, and leave a small space for the date, which you will insert after.

When you have finished typing whatever you were creating click the stop button ( Hold the cursor over the buttons and they will tell you which is which ) and you now have a Macro.

In future when you hold down Alt whilst you press D then S

Word will automatically enter your chosen Macro.

You can do the same for Yours Faithfully, and choose Alt Y +F. or Prince of Wales choose Alt P+W

The combinations are endless, but always choose two ( 2) letters with the Alt key

If for example you create Alt D+S and then Alt D

You will never be able to use Alt D+S again

As the computer defaults to the shortest or first letter. Writing a letter becomes easy and quick
