I was pretty incensed at the time.Two suggestions: if you want a text expander that launches, try Typing Assistant, which does. It's payware. If you just want a launcher that works from shorthand/keywords, have you written off SlickRun, freeware?Thanks, but that doesn't launch apps, which is really what I use DA for.I was using DA, then switched to MacroExpress Pro, but it's a bit too heavy for launching applications (though good for a lot of other things)ShortKeys-wraith808 (February 13, 2010, 10:15 AM)-rjbull (February 13, 2010, 02:15 PM)-wraith808 (February 13, 2010, 02:28 PM)
I was using DA, then switched to MacroExpress Pro, but it's a bit too heavy for launching applications (though good for a lot of other things)You might like to know that Insight Software, makers of Macro Express, also offer ShortKeys, which seems to be specifically an expander, and presumably a subset of Macro Express itself.-wraith808 (February 13, 2010, 10:15 AM)

It isn't portable, though, and portability would be a big plus for me at the moment. That's why the next one I intend to look at is Typing Assistant.i think it's simply unfair to have a post complaining about someone or their company, and then have them banned so they can't reply.is.As I recall it, Bartels mounted a sustained attack in an aggressive tone. I also seem to remember they themselves said they would no longer post here.-mouser (February 13, 2010, 05:40 AM)
I wrote them off a bit ago when they were on DC. The tete a tete with DirectAccess was more than enough to put me off their product.Yes, I saw bits of that, I just didn't expect it would ever happen to me. Shame, because the product is good. Not as good as Instant Text, but that's $189.-wraith808 (February 11, 2010, 01:50 PM)
You realize that AutoHotkey stole all their ideas from PhraseExpress, don't you?erm, is that ironic? I thought AHK was developed from AutoIt, and imagine both pre-date PhraseExpress. Besides, before any of those, there were various programs that did much the same even in DOS.-mwb1100 (February 11, 2010, 12:18 PM)
Please excuse my ignorance, new user query... I'm already using my own multi-word phrases plus some words I've defined. But to make PhraseExpress behave like Intellicomplete/Comfort Keyboard etc. which come pre-loaded to give you pop-up lists of words at the cursor, do I need to import a dictionary into PhraseExpress, or something like that?
Thank you for taking the time to write us about PhraseExpress.How tetchy can you get? PhraseExpress seems a good product, but they want us to believe and act as if nothing else exists? Don't they have any confidence their product is good enough to beat the opposition? You can't even mention any other program as an example, to explain what you mean? When I entered my post, their forum changed "Intellicomplete" to "another software!" They since deleted the post.
Please note that the PhraseExpress forum is not about other programs.
For a start, we recommend to study http://manual.phraseexpress.com first to
learn more about how to use PhraseExpress.
Angel writer (this ones been mentioned here before)I'd noticed mention of it here on DC, but their Web site doesn't (as far as I can see) mention that it's portable, something I'd have expected them to say if it was.-Target (February 09, 2010, 09:19 PM)

Did you manage to pick up a free copy of Softmaker office [edit: 2008] when they were going around?I certainly did! Very generous offer. I didn't realise you could make it portable. Thanks!
You can 'export' the install to a usb stick-tomos (February 09, 2010, 04:31 PM)
so you insert stick and up pops the launchbar from that stick.. remove it and it dissapears?-mouser (February 09, 2010, 04:14 PM)
rjbull - what is generating that attack report - Firefox? I've never had any trouble visitng that page and have just done so with both IE8 and Opera 10.5 beta.Well, I run Online Armor firewall and thought it was prompted by that. But I see that Armando, who knows a thing or two, thinks its Firefox itself. I've heard enough good things about Archivarius here to think it's an attack, not likasoft, but it would be nice for the site to get a clean bill of health.-Darwin (February 08, 2010, 05:20 PM)

rjbull im afraid i cant do it, i cant find "popup > Misc > Paste Selected Text (gives you a list you Ctrl-click to mark) or Paste All Text."-ron101 (February 08, 2010, 10:11 AM)
Im wondering if there a prog that is similer to PASTECOPY but it lets you select more than one at a time,( for exmp. you select all of the shortcut at once in stead of just one at a time)The prog only selects one at a time?I mostly use ArsClip (freeware). I'm not quite sure what you're asking either, but here's part of ArsClip's Help:-ron101 (February 06, 2010, 10:28 AM)
Form Mode
ArsClip supports pasting multiple items into a program by Form Mode (popup -> Misc -> Form Mode). When in Form Mode, you click an item on the popup, ArsClip pastes the item, simulates a TAB keypress, and then displays the popup again. This process repeats until you press Cancel. The TAB keypress will move focus to the next form field in a web page, or in a program. Sometimes a non-text item will receive focus in a web page, so you can press the "Next Field" option on the popup to skip to the next text field.
The Keystrokes option in Permanent Items is a more flexible way of pasting items and simulating keystrokes for items you paste often.
