Could anyone tell me if I can use macro substitution in dex.? I am working on something in Payroll. All the field name I need to work on are 1 - 12. I try to avoid typing all the fields from 1 to 12. Is it a way I can avoid to "hard code" them?? thank you.

You can record a macro and use the resulting file with Word to create a mail merge. Then print the mail merge to document and save as a text file with a .mac extension.

This resulting resulting macro can be used to enter multiple records.

However, Macro substitution in the form you are looking for is not possible.
