Thank you RussF and flyingDman for sticking with it. To start at the end - COM I don't think I had heard of it till it was mentioned in this thread. I did ask 'are we still in Autohotkeys ?'. I will try RussF's code and if it works, will progressively remove the elements flyingDman considers superfl...

I can't find an EDIT option, so here is a new post RussF That code does in deed do what I want - AND responds to a mouse click. Thanks a million. Now to see if I can incorporate the 'save to USB' code .... *********************************************************************************** It seems t...

Boiler You have bowed out, but I will reply anyway. "Is it not clear from the documentation?" It may well be, but I had not consulted that when I asked the forum. "I don’t know what opening a spreadsheet to a location means." neither do I. The intention of the statement was SAVE TO A LOCATION. RussF...

Boiler So semicolon in Autohotkey is the equivalent of REM in batch files (....?) I had edited my post to remove the 'copy to USB' part, since I already have that figured out 'my own' way'. and that I tried the "!{F4} (Alt+F4)" code and it did not achieve SAVING. The edit did not take in the thread....

Jose-phil

So the Autohotkey code for saving the open spreadsheet is !{F4} (Alt+F4)
What is the code for the next step - calling Filecopy (and instructing it to save to another location)

Is there in Autohotkey language an equivalent of REM-in-batch-file - if so what is it ?

Jose-phil

The following code first saves an Excel spreadsheet, then closes the excel program : ; Microsoft Excel - Book1.xlsx ; SetTitleMatchMode 2 WinActivate, ahk_class XLMAIN send ^s sleep 1000 send !{F4} return [Mod edit: Replaced i- and b-tags with code tags. Please use them yourself when posting code!] ...

I removed the first line, as suggested and ran the AHK in a disposable clone of my system. The taskbar setting did not change.

I will do the updates as you suggest.

Jose-phil

'This is a question about version 1 code' Some research has shown me that there is a v2. I could not find an update option. If I download and install v2, will I risk my existing AHKs no longer working ?

I have long HAPPILY used Autohotkeys v 1.1.33.01 to type text strings from hotkeys. Someone in a help-forum has suggested I put Autohotkeys to a new use - one that is beyond my skill. The following is what I posted : "In x32Win10ProV22H2, Telegram for Desktop is a wonderful communication application...

Jose-phil

I'm sorry - I'll answer them now 1. What is your AHK version? - v1.1.33.01 2. What is your Windows version? - x32Win10ProV22H2 3. Are you running Notepad as administrator or as an elevated window? - neither, just ordinary garden-variety 4. Have you disabled antivirus to test? - NO 5. Are other progr...

F3 creates what I suppose is a message box, with '123' in it
F pastes '123' into Notepad

Jose-phil

One obvious conclusion is that my original code succeeds in sending - even if erroneously, whereas your code does not succeed. That is an impressive list of possible faults your URL refers me to. That neither of our codes are perfect in WordPerfect is interesting, but understandable - WordPerfect is...

Jose-phil

I know now that I can simply NOT LAUNCH 'my' original AHK, and just run yours. That simplifies the testing. To establish a base line, I ran my original hotkey in WordPerfect for "Your name does NOT show in the list of available TV partners" for the leftwinkey. and what got pasted into Notepad was "Y...

Jose-phil

Your method is slowly starting to dawn on me, so

I deleted the troublesome key out of 'my' AHK and substituted its key and its text into 'your' AHK.

With the leftwin key, there was no effect in Wordperfect, with the rightwin key it gave the expected result - the non-troublesome text got pasted.

Jose-phil

When I substituted a prededicated letter for F3, the result with the leftwin key was the addition of 'username@gmail.com' to the prededicated text; with the rightwin key, there was no change.

Jose-phil

Double clicking 'your' AHK disables F3 in WordPerfect.
There is no other noticeable effect from pressing F3 in or outside of WordPerfect.

Jose-phil

I experimented to find a hotkey that gets scrambled in WordPerfect.

I copied your three lines into Notepad and saved it on the desktop as test.ahk

I double clicked it; then ran the hotkey that produces hash in Wordperfect.
A different version of hash appeared.

Jose-phil

I had not run it because I am not familiar with the conventions. When you write 'script' do you mean SetKeyDelay 25 ; SendMode Event F3::Send {Text}username@gmail.com ? As I have said several times before, my AHK is a series of lines of the format <#6:: Send Joe I can not see how to combine your 3-l...

Jose-phil

If I find that the following code in AHK :

<#\:: Send This text is quite likely to be scrambled when pasted into WordPerfect

is a self-fulfilling prophecy, how do I alter it to increase the delay ?
Is it possible to modify that line to ensure that it is a false prediction ? If so HOW ?
