Insert a stop
You can include stops in an action that let you perform a task that cannot be recorded (for example, using a painting tool). After you complete the task, click the Play button in the Actions palette to complete the action.
You can also display a short message when the action reaches the stop as a reminder of what needs to be done before continuing with the action. You can include a Continue button in the message box in case no other task needs to be done.
- Choose where to insert the stop by doing one of
the following:
-
Select an action’s name to insert a stop at the end of the action.
-
Select a command to insert a stop after the command.
-
- Choose Insert Stop from the Actions palette menu.
- Type the message you want to appear.
- If you want the option to continue the action without stopping, select Allow Continue.
- Click OK.
You can insert a stop when recording
an action or after it has been recorded.
