Not sure what this would fall under. \r\n\r\n I was speaking with a legacy MS Windows User (name duly submitted for\r\nassimilation) yesterday, question arose of whether or not there was a\r\nway to program in keyboard shortcuts in such a way that typing some\r\nshortcut or hotkey would expand, always, into some text. E.g.: "Truth\r\nOr Consequences, NM", as a long city name one might have to provide\r\nfrequently. \r\n\r\n The ideal solution would work cross-application. That is, you'd be\r\nable to use the same shortcut in MS Word, Excel, or Mozilla. \r\n\r\n Anyone aware of possibilities? \r\n --\r\n Karsten M.

I thought that officemacros could do that, wired to a hot key but it so many years etc. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] You think that you can trust the government to look after your rights? ask an Indian

I'm sure there are shareware programs that allow programming the function keys. Cross platform is going to be a problem because every OS has a different conception of what a console is. This looks good for Windows: [link\|http://www.hot-keyboard.com/download/index.htm\|http://www.hot-keybo...ownload/index.htm] -drl
