acantor Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Today I learned that in Microsoft Word, Alt + Numpad 5 is the hotkey to select a table. With this new factoid in mind, I began to write a Macro Express script to do something with it. The script runs through a multi-step process that selects an entire table, copies it, assigns the data to a variable, parses the data, etc. The problem is that my script, which starts with this line... Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <ALT><KEYP5> ... doesn't select the table. Instead, the script inserts an emoji for the club, as in the suit in a pack of playing cards: ♣ I tried different hotkey activations for my macro, including "Alt + /" and "Ctrl + /" but the result was the same. I tried <ALTD><KEYP5><ALTU>. Same thing. Any ideas on why I'm getting an emoji instead of a key press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I'm sorry I don't have more time now but I have experienced a similar problem with this. In Outlook there it's how to enter an emoji using the Windows Emoji Picker. I'd suggest researching that and determine how to disable it.
