This article shows you how to create a macro that launches an application and runs an argument (typically a file path) to open a file associated with the app.

NOTE: If you want to run the app without an argument, you’ll need to create a separate macro, as each launcher that has an argument associated with it is locked into that argument.

1. Open G HUB, and in the left pane, click the Assignments  tab.
2. In the right pane, select MACROS. Then, click CREATE NEW MACRO.

    

3. Give the new macro a name and then press Enter.

    

4. Under SELECT A TYPE OF MACRO YOU WANT TO CREATE, select NO REPEAT.

    

5. Click the plus sign + next to START NOW and then select Launch Application.

    

    

6. Select a current app from the list (for example, WINWORD), or create new Launch Application options to add. 
   NOTE: You can find more information about Launch Application options under the Advanced settings section in the G HUB manual. 
   For example, the path for WINWORD is
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE.

    

7. Click Launch WINWORD — it turns blue and displays an EDIT option.

    

8. Click EDIT. The Launch Application settings should appear. Click ADD ARGUMENTS.

    

9. The argument should be the full path and filename and extension for the file.
   For example, the argument for a file named test.doc on your desktop would be:
   C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Desktop\Test.doc where [USERNAME] is specific to your PC.
