How Entry Macros Work

If a Help macro is included in a topic footnote, Windows Help executes that macro when the user first enters that topic. Users can display topics by:

nClicking on a jump to that topic.

nClicking the Back button or a browse button.

nSelecting a topic from the history list or keyword search list.

Windows Help does not execute the macro a second time if the user performs any operation within the original topic, such as displaying a pop-up window or jumping to a spot reference.

Note:

Windows Help executes any entry macros after it has laid out the text and graphics in the topic.
