Using Word 2007, I am trying to write a question bank that contains about 800 multiple-choice questions for my grandson, who is going to take the DMV driver license test.

Rather than having to repeatedly type a lot of the same cursor moves and other operations, such as indentations, spacing, etc., I want to make a macro to perform all of these keystrokes at once. This would save me a whole lot of time and trouble.

Setting the macro up is easy, at first; however, when it comes to the point of actually recording the sequence of keystrokes to be performed by the macro, I am stuck because I don't know how to move the cursor with the mouse to the point where, for example, I can select a portion of text to indent. I can see that the macro is recording by the fact that the little 'cassette' icon is visible, but when I try to move the cursor around my Word document, nothing happens, so I can't tell the macro where to go, in order to perform a function.

So my question is: Is it possible to move the cursor, in order to select a portion of the text by using the mouse? And, if not by using the mouse, then how is the insertion point selected?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
