How do you record a macro to automate repetitive formatting tasks in Word?

• A. Insert > Macro; record steps; finish.
• B. View > Macros; start recording; save to a template.
• C. Developer tab > Record Macro; perform actions; Stop Recording; assign to a button or shortcut.
• D. Developer tab > Create Macro; enable recording; assign to keyboard shortcut.

Answer: (C)

Recording a macro in Word captures a sequence of formatting actions so you can replay them automatically. To do this, use the Developer tab and choose Record Macro, then name it and choose where to save it (this document or a template for broader reuse). You can also assign it to a button on the ribbon or a keyboard shortcut for quick access. While recording is on, perform the formatting steps you want automated, then stop recording. Once saved, you can run the macro whenever needed, and trigger it via the button or shortcut you set up. This path is the standard, supported workflow for capturing repetitive formatting tasks.
