WP 9.0 Macro Not Working in WP 10

I have several very useful macros that are not working under WP 10 (I changed the default folder to my old Ver 9.0 macros folder, assuming I could use them all). I am trying to do 99% of attempt to make new macro by keyboard, as the construct of 10 appears different from 9 when I use the Record Macro feature. Perhaps someone could help me with the syntax to do the following.

Insert-Graphic-Fromfile-PAUSE while I point to the file to insert-etc.

It seems I can not place the proper pause in the macro. I tried to record the insertion of the file, then take the file name reference out of BoxImageRetrieve and replace in with either Pause or PauseKey, but that did not work. Help please.
 
I can't get anything to work in WP 10 either...
try call Corel tech support and see if they
are more helpful than they have been for me...
Sorry! Just wanted to let you know you're
not the only one out there. :cool:
 
Have you tried copying the WP9 macros to the right WP10 directory? Strangely, there are two: One in c:\program files\corel\etc\macros\wpwin and one in \documents and settings\administrator\applications\corel\10\wp\ the latter actually inaccessible in Windows Explorer, but it comes up as the WP10 default folder.

Secondly, have you tried EDITING the WP9 macro in WP10? With some of my WP8 macros, the SAVE&COMPILE button is greyed, with others, you press it and WP10 compiles and sometimes tells you what is wrong.

Third - all my macros take an incredible 4 seconds to start. On those of your macros that run, how fast do they start (not run)? What OS are you on? I am on W2k Pro.
