I've used Macro Express for years. But now I'd like to create something that I don't know whether it can handle: A macro that displays several text phrases, and I just click the one I want, and it's entered into a field. Any suggestions are welcome.

I've used multiple choice menus and the variable set string from list features. Both work nicely.

 

A multiple choice menu gives you an interesting option: the ability to choose a menu item by pressing an key on the keyboard, rather than clicking on it.

 

For example, if this is your Menu List:

 

Choose a &Folder...
Save in "&Alan"
Save in "&CCCC"
Save in "&Stories"
Save as &Word file
Export as &PDF
Save as &Text

 

The ampersands produce accelerator keys in the resulting menu:

To choose "Export as PDF," press P then Enter. To choose "Save As Text," press T then Enter.
