I would like to set up a macro that is initiated by a certain word being
typed in the body of a letter. It appears to me that you have to use a
function key ie: CTRL V or ALT V or such like. Is it possible to assign a
macro to a word instead - I know the pitfalls but this word (somebody's name)
will only be typed when the macro is required.

Many thanks
 
Can't be done. You can use AutoText and AutoCorrect for some control over
what is inserted based on what you type, but you can't use text to trigger a
macro.
