Every time I write something that I realize I will repeat in the future, I cut and paste it into Perfect Keyboard and assign a shortcut for it. Shortcuts can be either one key or combination of keys to any text passage you create.

They can be expanded by pressing the <spacebar> or "auto expanded" on their own.  I have over 1000 shortcuts handled by Perfect Keyboard including text and macros.

Use Perfect Keyboard for:

1. Automatic text replacement - type text shortcut in any Windows 95/98 or NT application and Perfect Keyboard will immediately replace it with full, expanded text.

2. E-mail correspondence improvement - write a set of templates and phrases you can quickly use when responding to clients questions, etc.

3. Automatically filling out forms.

4. Launching applications, opening files - write macros that will start required applications or opening files just by pressing hot key .

5. Automatic file management, backups - you can create macros that will automatically
copy/move/delete required files and/or directories.

6. Internet access - jump to a desired web page just by pressing hot key.

7. Inserting pictures, tables and other data objects into your documents - using the new clipboard support the Perfect Keyboard is no more limited to handle just text data but can insert any data through the clipboard.
