Displaying a Message in the Status Bar in WordBasic

When you are creating WordBasic macros, you can place a message on the status bar by using the Print statement, as follows:

Print "I'm working as fast as I can..."

The message within the quote marks is displayed on the status bar. If you use the Print statement, you can keep users informed about what your macro is doing. (After all, it's best not to leave them wondering.)
