Let’s suppose you needed a macro for Microsoft Word that went through a document, found everything that was colored red, and turned it black.<\/p>\n
What would you name such a macro? A sensible person might called it “RedToBlack.”<\/p>\n
A less sensible, more poetic soul might call it “PaintItBlack.”<\/p>\n
Said less sensible, more poetic soul might also have a message box pop up as the macro begins. Said message box might display the message: “I see a red door and I want it painted black.”<\/p>\n
Said less sensible, more poetic sould might then have a message box open when the macro is finished. Said message box might display this message: “No colors anymore, I want them to turn black.”<\/p>\n
