Note that in order for WSR Macros to load the macro, the macro must be saved in the Speech Macros folder, under the current user's Documents folder Press or say “Create” to complete the wizard and save the new macro file. By default, the wizard will apply a digital signature to the newly created macro file. A digital signature ensures that the file cannot be changed or tampered with, without the user applying a new signature. You will be prompted to create a new “default signing certificate” if one has not yet been created. Creating a signing certificate requires administrative access and you may be prompted to provide credentials as part of the process.
