NeVeR Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 HI all. I'm trying to do the following. We have alot of people that have different tasks each day. Some days are boring and it's a standard reply needed to a customer. At the start of a day one of the staff would like to be able to add there auto replies to a macro.. But not via macro express.. I'll try explain 1: They highlight the reply ( from notepad - text only) 2: While highlighted they press CTRL+1 ( copied text is saved ) 3: To paste this copied text they press ALT+1, the reason for not using the normal copy and paste CTRL+c and CTRL+v is they have many auto replies . (6-7) that they would like to save in ctrl+1/2/3/4/5/6 and paste with ALT+1/2/3/4/5/6 these replies would be different for each person/each day.. So going into macro express and just added each reply to CTRL+1 wont work. we need to be able to change these on the fly. So if you have one reply set in CTRL+1 and you need to change it you can just highlight you new text and press CTRL+1 and you have a new reply stored in ALT+1 Is that clear ?.. sorry i hope it is. thanks.

kevin Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Have you tried the Clipboard Helper macro found on the Shared Macros page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeVeR Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I've run into a problem. I dont know why after like 20 minutes all the saved info get erased !! I save stuff in CTRL+1/2/3 and it does save as i use it for a while.. then after about 20 minutes it's gone.. I can't pin point a key/action i'm pressing or doing to removed the saved data... Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? The only way I've found to get around this is to have the macro save the variable to a text file for later retrieval using the "Variable Modify String" command and under the "Option 2" tab select the "Save to Text File" radial button and define a location then have the paste macros refer to those text files using the "Variable Set String" command. Macro Express will only keep a variable in active memory while that macro is currently running and since your CTRL+1 or 2 or 3 and your ALT+1 or 2 or 3 are separate macros, they would lose all variable information after the macro completes.
