While at work i use microstation for listing addresses in the system. I usually copy and past in the address into the cell but lately I have been having 6+ different street names and im looking for a faster way to copy paste them into each cell.

Is there a way to copy the words and save it so if I hit ctrl and say the letter K it will paste that specific word? I would like to set it up where I could use ctrl and let each letter represent a different address. Each day the addresses change so I can’t just make cells in mircostation which would be pretty easy.

This allows you to make a script to do what you want


EDIT: You want to make a hotkey for, say, K, that copys string X to the clipboard, then sends a paste command. Or, simply have it type in what you want.
