Remi- too bad about autohotkey not working out for you- you stuck to recording menu commands, not mouse, right? I wonder if there's anything else out there that would maquerade as an "actions" or script function in Xara until ( perhaps ) one is built in.

Mark- Macro Maker- I agree, recording mouse actions is tricky as palettes move- have you had success with 100% keyboard/menu's only? I tend to thing that there would be no pallete tools which dont always have a menu equivalent.

Anyone else have more success with other, perhaps more sophisticated macro tools? And what is it that you have had success automating, and what kinds of Xara activities are basically impractical to try to automate using these utilities?
