OS affected None - Not a bug
Description The user has added a 'Macro' or other task listed below to the Chain.  However, the macro task does not run in the Chain.
Causes Most tasks can be run in a chain.  However, some tasks either cannot be controlled or waited on.  Hence they cannot be run in the 'Chain', since they return immediately. 

Chain cannot run the following task types:
Macro, MSAccess, MSExcel, MSWord, MSPowerpoint

The following tasks can be run in the Chain but return immediately and generally should only be used as the last Step in the Chain:
Print, Alarm, Message, Open Documents task

Solution None.  This is designed behavior.
Output Log Chain cannot run this type of task.
