Using scripts 25
Saving a copy of a script
Sometimes you may need a script that is similar to an existing one but
with some changes. Instead of recording a new script, it may be easier to
copy the existing script and edit it.
1. Open the script you want to copy.
2. Click
File > Save As.
Note: Do not click .
3. In the dialog box:
a) Navigate to the folder in which you want to store the copy.
b) Type a file name. Use a name that indicates the purpose of
the script.
c) Click
Save.
Note: If you change a script and want to keep those changes in the
existing script, click
File > Save or before selecting Save As.
Otherwise, the changes are saved in the copy but not in the original
script.
Opening an existing script
After a script is recorded and saved, you can open it later and play the
script again, edit it, or save a copy of it.
1. Click
File > Open or click .
2. In the dialog box:
a) Navigate to the folder that contains the script file.
b) Click the script name to highlight it.
c) Click
Open.
The script window opens.
Note: To open a recently used script, you can click
File > Open Recent
and then click a script name.
Closing a script
When you’re finished using a script, you may want to close it. This
removes the script window from the desktop. If the script is not saved,
you are prompted whether to save it.
