Create a macro that displays the Task Details form in the Details pane and add it to the Quick Access Toolbar.
- [Bonnie] Hi, I'm Bonnie Biafore. … I switch between … displaying and hiding the details pane a lot … and I prefer to use the task details form. … This week, I'll show you how to record a macro … to quickly perform these tasks. … The first thing is … you need the developer tab on the ribbon to do this. … So if you don't see that, … click file, click options, then choose customize ribbon. … On the right side, … make sure that the developer check box is turned on … and click okay. … Once you have the developer tab, … go ahead and click it. … Now what we're going to do … is click record macro. … That opens up the record macro dialog box. … And the first thing I'm going to do here … is give the macro a name. … I'm going to call it c_details. … I'm going to store the macro in the global files, … so it's available to all projects. … Then in the description box, … I'm going to leave the part when it was recorded and by whom … but I'm going to select macro, macro 1 … and replace that with just a brief description …
