Default Running macros

Can you have a macro run from pressing a key on the key board? Example I
want a graphic to appear when I press the 'A' key. Thanks for any help.

Yes, although I would want to at least add an Alt or Ctrl key to the A if
you are planning on doing any typing!

You would want to save the graphic as an AutoText entry and assign it to a
key.

You can also assign macros to keys, but you don't need a macro for a
graphic.
