RE: keep a particular boiler plate response on tap

Check out Note Tab Light for this 'boiler plate response' then....because
the text can be in NTL and used in exactly the same manner as you are
thinking with a clipbook storage.
http://www.notetab.com

and its Note Tab Light you are looking for approx version 4.5

The boiler plate content is put on a NoteTab page, leave NT open and the
contents is easily pasted from that source.
Note tab is a good text editor - tabbed format but I use it for large copy
and paste (paragraphs collected etc)

Hi Rose,
Do you mind if I ask if your a programmer/Coder? I thought that this
software app was used mainly by coders, it seems to have a library for code
pasting?

The version you mention, is it "not" the current one? In which case I would
probably find it via peer to peer networking.

Many Thanks
 
I need to do alot of boiler plate type replies and wondered if there was a
very simple application that extended the right click so that it displayed a
list of stored boiler cliips that can be inserted?

Thanks in advance

Not what you asked for but will do what you need:
ShortKeys Lite
http://www.shortkeys.com/lite.htm
The above version will only hold 15 phrases but I'm posting an older
version to alt.binaries.freeware that will hold 35 phrases
or
TypeItIn
http://www.wavget.com/typeitin.html
Last freeware version
ftp://ftp.fh-merseburg.de/pub/windows95/util/typeitin32.exe

Does anybody know why I cannot reply to Duddits below in his post?

I have tried three times to post a reply to him but each time my reader
won't allow it. Any suggestions.

Duddits: If you read this please note I have checked out your software
recommendation, and it really looks good, I'm quite excited about that and
will try out the freeware verison, if it is as good as I think it might be I
will even consider going for the pro version :) Thanks

Well, this program isn't mousable but you may find "allchars"
useful:
http://allchars.zwolnet.com/

I do not know how large text blocks may be but it's a great little
autotyper. Insert predefined text blocks with only four keypresses.
Might be worth a look.

These kinds of applications can save so much time if used properly! Thanks

things I did'nt understand on it, I mean it went into all kinds of different

You can't do better than good old Cliptrak from Pc-Mag. They now
charge for access to their "freeware", but there are copies all over
the net. If you go for it, make sure to get version 1.3 (or above, if
any). Earlier versions would occasionally lose track of their clips.

It may. The version that I presently use is 4.95 and it comes with
a prebuilt library of HTML stuff. Notetab's "clipbook" performs
basically the same autotyping/insertion task as the "allchars" app that
I mentioned elsewhere. However, Notetab's clipbook also supports
operators that speed HTML editing. Notetab also has a preview function
that saves a document locally and then renders it in the system's
browser.
One Notetab feature that you might find useful is its pasteboard.
The program uses a tabbed ui and any one single tab may be defined as a
pasteboard so that *anything copied/cut to the clipboard is pasted into
that tab automagically*. Composition then becomes a matter of selecting
and copying text blocks from other open tabs in the order that one
wishes them to appear in the document. You will soon discover the single
greatest disadvantage of the tabbed interface is that only one document
may be viewed at one time which eliminates drag-and-drop editing across
documents. The workaround is to open another instance of Notetab, open a
single tab, and make it the pasteboard. Drag-and-drop editing across
instances works, too.
One unfortunate side-effect of dragging text in Notetab (or, at
least, in the version I'm using) is that so-called "typographical"
characters, diacritical marks, etc. are lost and revert back to their
standard typewriter/computer-character key codes. For example: "real"
quotes revert to inch-tic, "real" apostrophe to foot-tic, dashes to
hyphen, etc.

Thanks! I'll check them out.

You might be interested in another program at Snapfiles:

Clippity Dippity Do is a clipboard monitoring and logging tool. It runs in
the system tray and automatically converts text in the clipboard to plain
text, and optionally saves it to a log file. There are different choices for
the log file format, you can append to one large file, or save clips in
files named after the date. The program is useful for converting rich
(clipboard) text into plain text, and to keep track of previously copied
text. Clippity Dippity Do also supports link catching, allowing you to view
the last copied link, and automatically save URLs to a text log file.

It's not simple, but PowerPro does this better than anything else I have
tried. The learning curve is worth it.

The PowerPro text macros approach is also very powerful - you can just type
in ".sig" and it will insert your signature. It's completely configurable.
