Google "free windows macro program"



I use Autohotkey, but it's interface might be a little too complicated

for your simple action. Look for AHK's autoscriptwriter to make the job

easier.

You need a third-party program to do that. I recommend the

downloadable free program Autohotkey. It works very well and is very

easy to use. You can assign words and even sentences to key

combinations. Besides the kind of use you are thinking of, I use it to

automatically correct typos I typically make. For example, if I type

"teh," Autohotkey automatically changes it to "the" for me.

Is there a way to assign a "word" to selected key(s) to paste when desired??

I wish to paste my email address whenever asked for as a login ID....

But how do you spell Teheran? ;>)



(Probably doesn't come up very often. I think that was the first time I

ever spelled it out too..)



*I just figured it out maybe. You can wait for the space after teh to

do the correcting.

Yes "Teh" gets changed to "The," but "Teheran" remains unchanged. It

waits for a space or punctuation mark after the "teh."
