Automation Template Program

[midash]

Hey,

Basically I tend to use a lot of templates with my work, and would love to make a program that will have numerous buttons I can click, which will either copy a preselected text (from a .txt file possibly?) ready to be pasted in a word document.

Eg: Button A = "Dear Sirs, Thank you for your e-mail"
Button B = "I understand your concerns as being..."
Button C = "Kind regards, Midash"


Etc etc

Would this be possible, and if so... doable for a beginner? I'd ideally like to have the pre-selected text editable within a text file somewhere, and also beable to name button A, B, C etc... for ease of access?

Any help would be greatly appreciated so much!!!

i can not see any reason this could not work, possibly use a list box with a list of the templates, just click the one you want

in the click event for the listbox, something like

myfolder = "c:\temp\"     ' change to suit, note trailing \
f = freefile
open myfolder & listbox1.text for input as f
tmp = input(lof(f),#f)
close f
selection.typetext tmp

you then only need 1 block of code for all templates

of course, i am sure you realize, that word has some built in features to do some or all of this
