Macros for WordPad?

[Guest]

Is it possible to write macros for WordPad? I am somewhat familiar with VB
and VBA.
The idea is to assign a special character to a shortcut, such that, e.g.
entering Alt+z would enter a z with a dot (U+017C) or Alt+x would result in a
z with an accent (U+017A)? This is all in WordPad. See also my other posting
‘WordPad and special characters’ of yesterday.

Thanks

You could perhaps create global shortcuts to .vbs scripts, that say used
wshshell.SendKeys to send key combinations to your wordpad document
[place a shortcut to the script somewhere in the start menu, to make its
keyboard shortcut combination permanent.]
[right-click a shortcut > Properties to set a shortcut combination]

Thank you Jon, I will try to explore if further, however, I am not sure how
to intercept keyboard entries in real time on the OS level. I will have to
think about it and do some reading. Any hints/suggestions?

Look at your other thread impatient one. I wasn't going to answer till Da Vinci's Inquest and Farscape finished.

You could also perhaps look at the clipboard object within VB, which might
also help to get the special characters onto the clipboard in the first
place, ready for pasting eg via wshshell.sendkeys "^v"
