    Insert a string

    How can I program a string of text to be associated with a single key press?

    For example when using notepad I want to be able to use a single key press to insert my name, address etc.
    Open your mind, not your computer.

    Get a fancy clipboard program. Or

    Get something a lot more powerful than NotePad like Word. Cnn use macros to do all sorts of stuff...
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Have a look at TypeItIn V2.6. I used it for a while as trailware. I see it is now Freeware/Shareware. You mentioned Notepad. So I presume this is in Windows.

    Thanks, I thought there was also a way using DOSKEY or ANSI.SYS also, but I don't know for sure. ..and I don't know if that works with notepad etc...

    I'll have a look at the suggested program.
    Are programmable keyboards worth the money?

    Not free ($24.95), but you can try it free for 30 days, is KEYBOARD EXPRESS, which works like a charm for me. Its specs state Win9X (and later), so I don't know if it'll work for you in Win3.x.
