HOW TO HAVE MACRO TYPE EMAIL ADDRESSES?

[Guest]

I want to create macros that will type in my email addresses
automatically--I'm tired of typing in long email addresses. [Don't want to
use "self-complete features"--prefer to use macros.] Would appreciate your
help, or a referral to the best person to help me. Many thanks. Pete

Type them where? When? Which addresses? You would have to figure out those details before you can begin to write a VBA macro.

Firstly, I'm not sure what you mean/how to do that. Address book in Outlook?

Secondly, that won't help me in Word, in which email addresses are often used.

Thanks for your help. Pete

I would use the macro in Word as well as in Outlook. Maybe "macro" isn't really what I meant/need?? I'd just like to be able to do something simple--like hit a function key--and have that type out one of my email addresses.

Thanks for your help. Pete

I made the mistake in assuming you wanted a macro option when creating a new
msg in OL, I assume you get addresses from Contacts and dont type them in?
You can create a macro, in word, for filling in mail addresses

If you're using Word, you can create all the macros you want to insert
different email addresses. Just use autotext if you want to type only a few
letters:

Or record macros of yourself typing in an email address:
