Is it possible to INSERT a string into email body via Shortcut.

In my Access program I can insert predefined string content into Text Boxes
using various shortcust like Alt+1, Alt+2 etc. (I monitor for that in the
Form_KeyDown event).

I would love to be able to do similar inserts into email body. (yes each
user could set up their own strings in Signatures but I would rather have the
many commonly used ones stored in the Access DB)

I have not programmed Outlook other than to use Automation in Access to fill
out an email's To, Subject, Body etc and send it off. (I use Redemption).
 
The only way in Outlook to define shortcuts is to customize the toolbar, add
your own button, and find an accelerator for it that isn't used yet. In
order to define the accelerator, use the ampersand in the button's caption.
Chances are good that &1, &2, etc. are available.

Yes I understand.

BUT
I meant to do Signature type inserts programmatically from Access.

eg user opens new mail item, clicks on my Access app, presses Alt+1 and then
via Automation the insert occurs. I was hoping for some code in Access to
manipulate the insertion into the email body.
