I managed to complete this macro without having to use a variable. In the end, I decided to use If Clipboard rather than If Variable or If Control.
< ACTIVATE2:word - Windows Internet Explorer><WAITWIN2:000010:000000:word - Windows Internet Explorer><SPEED:00001><MMS2:57,69><LDN><LUP><MSD:1295><MMS2:69,142><LDN><LUP><CLIPC><IFOTH2:16:1:word.><MACRUN2:word.><ENDIF>
Simple.
Oh and thank you very much for your interest Cory. Have a great day!
