It's not high on Dick's priority list of features to add to TeXShop, though. The recommended procedure is to move all your own macros to a contiguous space in the macros menu, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the thematic arrangement that currently exists, which most of us probably just supplement.</div><div><br></div><div>I haven't messed around with the Insert Macros from File to know whether it can preserve ordering</div><div><br></div><div>Implementation-wise, I think the problem is that since we can change any of the macros supplied, there's no coherent way to distinguish the default macros from user defined ones, so having a separate "User Macros" vs. "System Macros" file from a TeXShop point of view isn't practical.</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><br></div><div>I therefore suggest that TS has one set of default macros which will be added at start up in case no macros could be found, and a set of compiled Applescripts that can be opened in Script Editor and used as macros for those who want to handpick their macros.</div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>I'm not quite sure what you mean here with your second set.

Assuming this refers to csv2latex, I then looked for csv2latex among the macro menus and could not find it either. Am I missing something simple? It would be great if this useful macro was available without a lot of installation fuss.<br><br>-dave<br><br></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div>Dave, unfortunately the advice from both Schremmer and Claus is incorrect.
