This is most likely to be the most difficult part for every td so pay close attention to the instructions.

STEP 1 INSTALLING KEYTEXT

Locate the Keytext installation file that you downloaded
Open ktext225.exe to install program
Save to the folder you want it in
When you are prompted for a name you will be using Kimberly Carter.

Once installed you will see a box down next to your clock with a KT this is your macro program, which is best left off if your not using them ... lol or you'll be making them go off when you don't want them too.



Right click on the KT box ...



Click settings



Now click User Information the last tab.
Name should be Kimberly Carter
Unlock Code is 3235-28XP-8NCC this is case sensitve use caps for the letters
Click Edit Information



Click Global tab at the top and change the Characters to designate a field to <....>
Click Ok



STEP 2 SETTING UP YOUR MACROS

KeyText.zip Data File Do NOT download this file unless you have installed and unlocked Keytext.

Once you click the link.. you will have to save it to your desktop. After it is save you will have to "unzip" the file back to the desktop. Here is how you do it... right click on the file.. click Extract All.. Click next, save to desktop and click ok. After that a window should pop open with the file in it. Right click copy on the file that is in the folder. Then go to "My Computer" C:Drive - Program Files -  open the Key Text Folder . Then right click paste. When it ask you to replace file click yes. Then you should be all done... Then back on your Desktop you can delete the "zip file" and the "Keytext", there is no need for them. I know it seem like a lot to do. But after you done it a couple times it goes by real fast. Have fun with your Macs. In the tool bar you should see a KT, left click ONE time and you should see the following menu.  Any questions please Contact Admin.

Keep a list of your Hotkeys for reference or you can also left click on the KT next to your clock in the task bar and it will list them there. If you know your Hotkey you simply have to hit CTRL A for example in a room and your Join the WildNCrazy Buccaneers macro will run.


To Print out a reference list right click on the KT in your start tray then organizer, copy list and paste it and print out. Without text gives you just the list... with text gives you all the list and the macro contents.

To access page 2 of the macros simply click the > after Z when in edit mode or
left click on KT and click the "next" option which will bring you to page 2.

MACRO TIPS & GUIDELINES:

  • Do NOT change any of the rules macros.
    EXCEPTIONS:
    Minutes per round ex. 5 minute rounds vs 10 minute rounds
    Points to end of match ex. Canasta 1000, 2500, 5000.
    Don't forget to put them back to standard

  • You are permitted to edit and personalize the start, stop and I'm having a tourney macs.
    NOTE: I'm having a tourney is where you should list if your tourney is a special or variation ex. backward rounds, twisters etc. along with repeatedly letting your players know its different than normal

  • Do NOT change the run time portion on any of them.

  • If you are unsure how to edit macros they are best left alone.

  • There will be times when updates are available. An email will be sent to you asking you to download the new macs it is extremely important that you do this immediately before hosting your next tourney as critical rules may have changed.

  • NOTE: WHILE A MACROS IS RUNNING YOU CAN NOT TYPE OR SWITCH WINDOWS IE.. DON'T TRY TO USE ANOTHER PROGRAM THE MAC WILL TRANSFER TO IT.
