Answer» I am NOT technical at all. I was wondering if I could make a hot key for this reason...
I sell on Ebay and would like to send each buyer a thank you email after they pay. Instead of having to type the same thing (Thank you for your puchase etc.) over & over, I figure maybe someone can tell me how I can EASILY create a Hot Key.
MANY THANKS
DeniseNot sure how much trouble you might have with this, but you could try using AutoHotKey.
Of course, you could always create a canned SPEECH. Just type out your message, save it to a Notepad file, and copy and paste it whenever you need it.Thanks Chris but....
Does anyone have anything easier??? I have no clue how to do it from the link 'CBMATT' provided. Might anyone have a simple step by step method? (Oh, and free without having to download anything. My PC is very low on memory)
Thanks for all help given. APPRECIATED!!
DeniseCould you not just save the email letter to a .txt file using Notepad and then copy & paste the letter into the email? Ummm, with the amount of sales I SOMETIMES have in a day, I think it would be easier to just hit a key and 'viola! I am really not technical at all and to have to go and retrieve it will take me time.
Is making a hot key that hard? I was wanting to do a few different ones and thought it was a great idea.
Anyone?I tried to make hot keys once, and met with terrible failure.
Ok, enough with the joking...
What email program are you using (Outlook, etc.)? Or are you using some form of webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, etc.)?I have internet explorer and I pay for AOL mail. (Windows XP)
Hope that helps. THANKS!!!!!!!!!I'm not familiar with AOL mail, so I'll give you an example with Outlook.
When composing a mail in Outlook, you can actually save the mail as a file before sending it. Then any time you want to send that particular mail, you can open the file, enter the e-mail address, and send.
I'll dig around and see if there's a way to do this or something similar with AOL mail.I just figured it would easier to hit the REPLY button in my mail and click onthe HOT KEY and my message of choice would APPEAR. I would hit SEND and I am done. Is it not that easy once the hot key is made??

Not without installing something extra, like the software in the link mentioned by CBMatt. The three simplest options have been mentioned. Take your pick:
1. Install hot-key/macro software to do the typing for you.
2. Copy and paste from a file.
3. Use a saved/draft e-mail.Got ya!!! I think I will write the email to myself and save it. Then I can bring it up and re-enter their email. I guess I always think there are newer easier ways that I am unfamiliar with.
Thanks so much everyone!!
DeniseUnfortunately, there's a bit of a trade-off here. Using a hot key macro is easy. Making it is a bit harder.
There is another alternative that is much easier and would probably be better for you, but sadly, I can't remember the NAME of the program and I currently don't have access to my computer. But when I can get access to it, I'll be sure to LET you know what the program is.
