I have made this huge script to quickly change between uppercase and lowercase without running any large programs like Word, etc. Mostly it have finished before the great hog (Word) have arisen. I have not tried it on very large documents, but in such cases its better to use Word itself. The script is simple, but large.

This cleans the text for any instances of LARGE letter. I name it UC (Uppercase)

It simply calls the search and replace function in Wordpad. BTW it will not run with notepad.

To use it: please select the text you want to convert before you run it. If you don’t run it from a texteditor, you should leave out the code before the pasting.

Because of the language settings on my OS, its not possible for me to check this script, but it runs perfectly in native mode, and have all similar settings.

The other is just opposite, it removes any instances of SMALL letters:

AW: lc (lowercase)

I have loved mindmapping since Tony Buzan invented them (afaik), and the first program I found with mindboggling capabilities, was "The brain" software, which linked almost anything in a mindmapping like enviroment. But it was not very good at maintaining the overview. So I ditched it.

But Mind Manager suddenly came with the "export to link" feature, and RobinNZ CAD blog made me realize its potensial.

But it was somewhat cumbersome to use, so I just made a  ActiveWord for it.

<WORD:mm><WINMENU>o<ENTER><WAIT FOR WINDOW:title="Send to"><ENTER>

Just replace <WORD:mm> with your own aw for Mind Manager. 

Important!
The topic you want to link, have to be selected.

Sometimes you just need to send a email, without any fuss and loading. Traditionally you could got to the Start menu, find the outlook icon, wait and wait again, open new email, find email-address.... A drag!!!

If you use this script, then you just enter your keyword (I use mail, nice and simple) and away it is.

1. Type add in your Action-Pad or monitor bar and select F8 or Enter.

2. Select scripting in the add-wizard and paste this in the action field. :



<"MAILTO:<INPUTBOX:e-mail adress?:Please fill in. >?subject=<INPUTBOX:Subject?:Please fill in!? >&Body=<INPUTBOX:Text?: Please fill in, MAX 255 characters > ><WAIT FOR WINDOW:TITLE=message>

This will open the default mail program which handles mailto: , usually Outlook.If you have made a signature (text substitution ), it is easy to script it into the other. Like this:

<WAIT FOR WINDOW:TITLE=message><END><ENTER:2><WORD:[your ActiveWord signature]>

If you are particular brave, its possible to send it directly, and even select which account. Give it a try!

Remember, with the Action-Pad you can always test your script if you paste/enter into the text field and enter Ctrl + S (Scripts it out)
