Hello all,
I'm completely new to macros and Macro Express and admittedly unaware of the breadth of what can be done with them.
But I have a need that I suspect Macro Express can fill and wanted to ask those who would definitively know. I don't have a big budget and was hoping to use something like MacroExpress with an existing commercial program to get this done. Much of the backbone of what I need to do, as described below, I can now do, for instance with One Note by MS.
So, here it is:
I need to fill out a form that has 4 sections. The sections are just running lines of text. I'd like to use my tablet pc.
I want to create icons that depict things I would usually type into the form as sentences and paragraphs. (As an example, clicking an icon depicting a wall with a "no sign"over it would insert: "A wall was removed according to regulations and approved by my supervisor."
I would group the icons according to the section (of the four) they belonged to and produce the form by:
1) opening up a form that would auto-date
2) select a section tab
3) select icons that auto-append one of several pre-set but syntactically equivalent pieces of text it randomly selected into that section
4) have the form auto-append to the last one
A possible complication is that many of the icon-to-text macros would need to pause for input generated by (in this case) tapping other icons.
Am I barking up the wrong tree or do you guys think can it be done with MacroExpress?
Thanks very, very much in advance.
