Note: I copied these instructions from Minitab's web site, and made a few alterations. They are Windows-oriented, but I think I have added the necessary comments for them to work with Macintosh systems as well.

If you still have questions, you can contact me, and I'll get the macros to you via mail.

When finished reading these instructions, you can go back to the macro catalog, or (if you were viewing a macro) use the "Back" command to return to that page.

To save a page as a macro:

In Netscape Navigator/Communicator

1. Choose File > Save File As.
2. Choose a file type of Plain text file.
3. (For Macs) Name the file as it appears at the top of the macro. (This should be the default file name.)
   (For PCs) Name the file as it appears at the top of the macro, but use the extension TXT instead of MAC, as in FNS.TXT.
   IMPORTANT: Unless you use the TXT extension, Netscape will not format the file to be compatible with all versions of MINITAB.
4. Save the file to the macros subdirectory or folder under the main Minitab directory.
5. (For PCs) On your system, change the file name to use the MAC extension. For example, FNS.TXT should be changed to FNS.MAC.
6. In MINITAB, invoke the macro in the Session window or Command Line Editor by typing %, followed by the macro name. For example, %FNS.

In Internet Explorer

1. Choose File > Save File As.
2. Choose a file type of Plain text file.
3. Name the file as it appears at the top of the macro. (This should be the default file name.)
   For PCs, enclose the name in double quotes, as in "FNS.MAC". IMPORTANT: If you do not enclose the name in double quotes, Internet Explorer will add the TXT extension to whatever you type and create a filename such as FNS.MAC. TXT.
   (Mac users don't have to worry about this....)
4. Save the file to the macros subdirectory or folder under the main Minitab directory.
5. In MINITAB, invoke the macro in the Session window or Command Line Editor by typing %, followed by the macro name. For example, %FNS.
