Converting from v3 to Macro Express 5

 

By default, Macro Express installs to a different folder than Macro Express 3.

 

1. Macro Express 3 files converted to the Macro Express 5 file format cannot be converted back to the older format. Keep backup copies of the version 3 macro files if you ever intend to revert back to Macro Express 3 use.

 

When converting the file to the Macro Express 5 format, a backup copy of the file in Macro Express 3 format is created. The backup is saved to the same location as the original file.

 

2. Macros written to automate functions within Macro Express 5 may not convert properly because the Macro Express 5 window titles have changed from v3. The accelerator keys have also changed.
