Hi,

The record macro feature is turned off by default in the newer releases,
it is however still there.

For version 3.6:
Tools>Options>General
You will find a separate setting option for the macro recorder.

For version 3.5.5:
Same options dialog, but record macro is enabled/disabled by using the
experimental features option.
[I believe - if I'm wrong then it will be a separate option there also]

Otherwise, the record macro feature has be considered rather buggy for a
long while and if you do make heavy use of macros I would urge to take
the time to learn how to write them directly, versus the record feature.

One good resource for this is the Macro document put together by Andrew
Pitonyak and available at:

http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php/

The branding is all wrong ;) but the information is still valid - for
now.

HTH,
