Key(s) to Cut & Paste??

[Willard]

Is there a way to assign a "word" to selected key(s) to paste when desired??
I wish to paste my email address whenever asked for as a login ID....

Google "free windows macro program"

I use Autohotkey, but it's interface might be a little too complicated
for your simple action. Look for AHK's autoscriptwriter to make the job
easier.

You need a third-party program to do that. I recommend the
downloadable free program Autohotkey. It works very well and is very
easy to use. You can assign words and even sentences to key
combinations. Besides the kind of use you are thinking of, I use it to
automatically correct typos I typically make. For example, if I type
"teh," Autohotkey automatically changes it to "the" for me.

But how do you spell Teheran? ;>)

(Probably doesn't come up very often. I think that was the first time I
ever spelled it out too..)

*I just figured it out maybe. You can wait for the space after teh to
do the correcting.

Yes "Teh" gets changed to "The," but "Teheran" remains unchanged. It
waits for a space or punctuation mark after the "teh."
