AFEPI Ireland Launches ‘MACROS FROM SQUARE ONE’ Training Course

Date and time

Wednesday, January 22 · 4 – 5:30pm

Learn the essential technical skills for installing macros on both PC and Mac through step-by-step demonstrations that will aid editing!

Want to transform your editing efficiency? Join Jennifer Yankopolus and Paul Beverley to learn the technical skills needed to use macros—powerful yet free tools that will speed up your work, increase accuracy, reduce repetitive strain, and boost your income.

Through step-by-step demonstrations, you’ll learn the essential technical skills for installing macros on both Mac and PC. You’ll discover how to install macros with confidence, assign custom keyboard shortcuts, and navigate Paul Beverley’s extensive Word Macro Tools library—featuring over 1,000 free, editor-specific macros.

The webinar will demystify what macros are and show you their practical value. You’ll see how editors use popular macros to speed up copyediting, fact-check using the internet, identify inconsistencies, and automatically add terms to style sheets.

While this session focuses on demonstrations rather than hands-on practice, you’ll receive detailed technical instructions, practice materials, and access to the webinar recording to implement the steps at your own pace.

By the end of the webinar, you will:

  • Understand how macros can transform your workflow
  • Know the process for installing macros and assigning shortcuts
  • Have a curated list of essential macros for your work
  • Know where to find macros suited to your specific needs
  • Be ready to start using macros in your editing
