‭Ans:‬‭A macro is a single instruction that executes‬‭a set of instructions. These set of‬
‭instructions can be a sequence of commands or keystrokes that can be used for any‬
‭number of times later. A sequence of actions such as keystrokes and clicks can be recorded‬
‭and then run as per the requirement.‬
‭Two Real Life situations where macros can be used”‬
‭1.‬ ‭When we have to perform repeated tasks, such as typing school name, address,‬
‭contact numbers with a specific formatting.‬
‭2.‬ ‭When we apply the same formula at a particular cell for different sheets in a‬
‭workbook.‬
‭2. List the actions that are not recorded by a macro.‬
‭Ans: The Macro records all the keyboard and mouse actions but the following actions‬
‭are not recorded.‬
‭• Opening of windows‬
‭• Actions carried out in another window than where the recording was started.‬
‭• Window switching‬
‭• Actions that are not related to the spreadsheet contents. For example, changes made‬
‭in the Options dialog, macro organizer, customizing.‬
‭• Selections are recorded only if they are done by using the keyboard (cursor‬
‭traveling), but not when the mouse is used.‬
‭• The macro recorder works only in Calc and Writer.‬
