How to write custom keyboard shortcut for repetitive typing
Hi
I work in an office where for the majority of my day i run reports through software that has an excel format but is not excel. part of the process involves me typing a line of my clients initials into a search engine several times a day
(eg. RS/FS/FGH/RF/SF/DSG/JGD/FV).
one way of speeding this up i found was to save an email in outlook with my list of clients as the header so i could copy and paste it in. this however still involves opening outlook finding the email and then ctrl C, ctrl V. i thought this could be quicker with a hot key shortcut so when i for example press Ctrl+Shift+J it types out RF/G/DH/LKF/HG/SG into the box i currently have selected?
i understand there is software like autohotkey that would probably allow me to do this, however as it is a work PC they do not allow us to install software other than that which come with factory windows 7.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
