How save a string of letters as a macro
I have numerous applications in which the same text is to be inserted into
some form or another such as email or bank, etc. I would like to create a macro which I could call up with an 'F' key which would insert that text into the selected box. Can that be done? Thanks |

How save a string of letters as a macro
Although you say numerous applications, I'm going to assume that you
mean Word, since this is a Word forum. Don't use a macro. Instead, use either AutoCorrect or AutoText. More information on these options he http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm If you really want something that works system-wide, google for programs such as ActiveWords.

If you really do need the same text in various programs, try
AutoHotKey (www.autohotkey.com). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Can that be done? Thanks I think you have given me the information that I needed. The application is not necessarrily within "Word" since I wish to use the string to simplify signing in to various sites which require, for example, my email address or other oft repeated information. Thanks to both of you Alan |
