Making A Micro

I was wondering it was possible to create a Micro in Vista Ultimate (running
w/Office 2007 if it means anything) so that with a keystroke it would enter
my email address>

Ok...but I was serious though... thought I missed something. Anyway...how
to create a macro is a long story, particularly when you haven't said where.
In Excel? in an application program? or someplace else? Let us know and we
might be able to point you to a help page. If it's in Excel, the Excel help
feature has a pretty good section and there are some good books on the
market.

Re: Making A Micro

I want to be able to insert it where needed, either on the Web or in Windows
if possible.

You might want to be looking at CGI or Script Writing or even Batching.
Sorry to ask for more details but just trying to answer your question. What
is it that you are trying to do? When you say "running w/Office 2007" and
now you ask about "Web or in Windows", I don't equate the two.

Re: Making A Micro

In the first post I said"(running w/Office 2007 if it means anything)"
I want to be able to hit a key or keys and have it insert my email address
both within windows and also on the internet. I am in the process of
changing my email address on many sites and it would really help to be able
to do this.
Does that explain it better?
Thanks

Now I understand. Scripting can help but it's a little complex and
overkill. I have a similar need for account names, passwords, URL's, and
other "one liners". I just keep them on the postit notes. I used to just
keep them in a .txt file on my desktop and whenever I needed one, I'd open
the file, go down the list and cut/paste. Another trick is to create and
empty folder with the name you want on the desktop and copy/paste the name
when you need it. Other then scripting, I can't tell you how to create a
user definable hotkey. Good idea though.

Re: Making A Micro

Create a shortcut that runs this vbs file. You also assign a keystroke combo
to the shortcut (in the shortcut Properties).
You will have to add the address you want to this vbs file.
---macro.vbs--
set sh=createobject("wscript.shell")
sh.sendkeys "myEmail@myServer.com"
--end file--
Put the cursor where you want and press the keyboard combo (e.g
Ctrl-shift-e) that runs the macro file.
