March 10, 2016 at 10:24 pmThe macro will be inside an MCR file located in one of three possible locations:
- The same folder as the DTD or XSD file associated with this particular document type — it will have the same filename as the DTD or XSD and a “.mcr” extension.
Macros — it will have the same filename as the DTD or XSD and a “.mcr” extension. Startup — the filename could be anything, the extension will be “.mcr”
Either open each MCR file from each location and search within them or use a tool with cross-file searching (Visual Studio, Notepad++, or many others) to search for one of the following in all MCR files in those locations:
“Ctrl+Alt+S”
“SourceDocumentNavigate”Reply to: Finding macro
