Solved: Creating Macro
I have never created a macro before and do not know much about them. I want to set up the facility of having my full name entered in any document or programme just by pressing one button. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it? I have Windows Vista and I use Open Office rather than MS Word. Allan.

Creating Macro
I have downloaded the Hotkeys programme from http://www.autohotkey.com/ and I am very keen to be able to use it. So far I have not been able to type in my macro successfully. I want create a hotkey, which, whenever the hot key is punched simply types my name, A Murray. This would help me greatly in my work.
Could anyone help? Allan.
