I often get people asking if there is a way to run Macro Scheduler macros just by typing a word, or having a word that you type in a document, or on a form, automatically trigger off a macro which then replaces that word. So we had something like this on the wish list. But then in July Nagarsoft announced their new tool, Direct Access, which solves this problem perfectly! So why reinvent the wheel?

Direct Access lets you set up meaningful keyboard commands to run actions such as launching applications, replacing text, composing emails and, of course, running Macro Scheduler macros. If you prefer typing to clicking, Direct Access has to be the best tool I have ever seen for quickly launching applications, accessing often used macros and performing frequently used actions. Just by typing a word that you associate with the action, that action is fired. It doesn’t matter what application you are working in, Direct Access will recognise the keyboard command. You can configure Direct Access to ask you to confirm the action by hitting F1, or just to go right ahead and fire it as soon as the word is recognized.

I was really impressed with Direct Access - it works like a charm. So I got in touch with Nagarsoft and was able to arrange a really special deal for Macro Scheduler customers. Users of Macro Scheduler can buy Direct Access for only $29.96 - 25% off the regular price of $39.95.

More info, special order links and a discount coupon can be found in the registered user’s area.
