I'm finding also that it's worth spending the effort to make good 
macros, especially if you have to leave a project for a while.  While 
you're working on it, it's easy to make adjustments, but, at least for 
me, a few weeks later, I'm scratching my head, trying to figure out all 
of the parameters that need changing, to make a simple adjustment.

This whole entryway is very nice.  I'm glad I don't have to dust it ;-)
