2. To create a macro path, click , and use the Select Path dialog to select the desired location. The path is added to the top of the list.

3. To change the path order, select the path you want to move, and use the and buttons to promote or demote the path.

4. Click Close.

5. To load the new paths into PowerMill, expand the Macros branch in the Explorer. Only the paths that contain at least one macro are shown.
