recording a macro
Used to be a time when it was easy to record a macro to use in any program
(or am I wrong?) I'd simply like to record my signature block and set it up as a somple Alt S or Alt F1 or something like that to use in any program I am in. Is that possible in XP? I have seen that I can record a macro for use in Power Point or Excel. Is it possible to set one up for use in any program? If so how? Brian |

recording a macro
Hello,
You may want to use a free macro recorder. http://www.autohotkey.com/ Be sure that you include processing times when recording a macro, since it performs independent of the program. For example, if you open a document that will take 5 seconds - you will need to 'record' this 5 seconds when you do the macro as Autohotkey does not know that the document is still opening and may proceed with the next command while the application is still opening a document. -- Singapore Website Design http://www.bootstrike.com/Webdesign/ Singapore Web Hosting http://www.bootstrike.com/WinXP/faq.html Windows XP FAQ "Brian204845" wrote in message ...

Brian If you're up to a small amount of "programming", or more accurately, setup there is a program called RemoteKeys that I use and it's absolutely great in its feature set! Only downside is, it's no longer supported and not all of the Help has been translated to English, but most has. If it has any bugs, I never found them. It was developed for use in a museum and the author just decided to put it into the public domain. http://www.freewarehits.de/ HTH Pop` |

: Hello, You may want to use a free macro recorder. http://www.autohotkey.com/ Be sure that you include processing times when recording a macro, since it performs independent of the program. For example, if you open a document that will take 5 seconds - you will need to 'record' this 5 seconds when you do the macro as Autohotkey does not know that the document is still opening and may proceed with the next command while the application is still opening a document. I second the recommendation to use Autohotkey. However, I don't think a fixed time delay is the best approach. Conditions vary, and in my opinion it is far better to tie actions explicitly to the opening of a window with WinWait or WinWaitActive. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ |
