How to automatically change text anybody?

[jesuschristmeister]

Is there a program anywhere that allows you to automatically change text the way word does?

I need an application whereby I can type in to any program via numbers. For example if I type in the number 1, it will automatically be replaced by the words/phrase "cheddar cheese". If anybody could help me on this one it would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Dan

There are a few programs that do that. Google "keyboard macro" or "keyboard hotkey" "hotkey manager"...

Wirekeys is one.

Most are payware but wirekeys lite is free.

You can link the hotkey to a VBscript that do even more things, using the sendkey function.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys ("Hello World{ENTER}etc")

... and I think many of the programming tools have this ability.

Look for Notepad++ I think it does that.
