Paste formatted html link?


Recommended Posts

Not directly. You would need to insert the text then command the program though the steps to create a link, just as a user would. In Outlook I would TextType ctrl+k to pop up the "Insert Hyperlink" form then use controls to fill in the "Address" (URI) and "Text to Display" then controls again to close the box by sending a mouse click on the "OK" button or just TextType Enter. Actually you can access all the boxes with the Alt shortcut keys also. But the method varies from application to application. What is yours?

If the text phrase is in the clipboard, or is selected, I think you can create a macro that will convert it to a clickable link. Not sure whether it will be totally automatic, or semi automatic. Hopefully this will get you started...
