Special conditions of use

The macro must be created in Word beforehand.

To begin, create a Word-document.

To do this:

• Open MS Word, go to "File" and then "Parameters".
• In the open window "Word parameters" click on "Customize feed".
• Scroll down the list and check the checkbox "Developer".
• In the toolbar go either to the "Developer" tab or to the "Macros" tab - there you can run built-in (created) macros inside the document. In the "Visual Basic" tab you can create new macros.
• Click on the 3rd tab to get to the panel for creating macros.
• Click right mouse button on the 1 element, select Insert -> Module.

This way you can either create your own macro or paste a ready-made one into this field and save it using CTRL+S.
