Hi All,
Further to inserting text into a document. A little while ago I couldn't write
a script to save myself and I am still not sure that I can. Going back a couple
of months ago thanks to David Truong and a few others who posted a script that
gave me some ideas, I just simply made some changes and added a few extra items
to come up with the following script. Although the script works well for me and
I think it's the best thing since sliced bread, I have no doubt that you real
script writers out there could make a lot of improvements.
The script creates a list of items to choose from. Two of them are my name and
full address and the other is my name and company name only. The other items on
the list run different programs that I use on a daily basis. I got sick to
death of trying to remember all of the hot keys I had for Word and Excel and
Access and so on, so I put the programs into the menu list that way I only have
to remember one hot key.
You will need to put this script into your defaults script so that you can
bring it up at any time. and anywhere.Go to the bottom of your default.jss file
hit the enter key a couple of times to give yourself a bit of room and paste
the following script. You need to make some obvious changes to put your details
in there instead of mine. Then put your cursor anywhere inside the script and
press control D to bring up the script information dialog box. Make sure that
the "can be attached to key" check box is checked, Then TAB around to the
"Assign to" field and press the key stroke you want to bring up the script.
Well at the risk of getting the script torn to shreds, I'm a very sensitive
person you know, here it goes.
