After my earlier ringing endorsement for PhraseExpress, I now feel the need to redress the balance somewhat. As I implied earlier, the main thing I’ve been using PhraseExpress for, is to click on it’s icon, in order to paste passwords etc. into on-site dialogues.

In the past PhraseExpress LE has always worked superbly for me. But having now installed the latest free version 5, I have to say that I’ve been saddened to discover that entering information on-line seems to have become a bit of a ‘hit and miss’ event. Maybe I haven’t read the manual thoroughly enough yet, but I’ve been finding that entering data via the system tray icon click route, all too often refuses to comply. Also (for the first time ever since using PhraseExpress) some of my pasted passwords have been rejected for some reason. I still really love this feature, but sadly, I’m reverting to my dated and limited, but trustworthy (much) earlier version.

As PhraseExpress is mentioned here in the comments I may add some information about its additionaly functions here:

Video demo: http://demo.phraseexpress.com

* PhraseExpress is FREEWARE for personal use

* Multiple phrases can have the *same* Autotext. In such case, a popup allows quick selection of the desired phrase directly at your cursor

* Autotexts can be defined for folders containing multiple phrases

* Many additional powerful Autotext options (http://manual.phraseexpress.com#autotext )

* Support for bitmaps and formatted text in the phrases

* Huge macro function library (http://manual.phraseexpress.com#macros )

* Unique text prediction feature ( http://demo.phraseexpress.com )

* Clipboard cache to store recent clipboard items

* Import for Microsoft Office AutoCorrect/Autotext entries for use in any application

* Phrases can be linked and embedded

* >3500 spelling correction items included

* Full blown Client-/Server architecture with file server service for use in corporate networks

* While it has so many features the user interface is still slick and clean (http://www.phraseexpress.com/screenshots.htm )

#51 – I dunno about no differences “to miss out on.” I couldn’t install 2.39 on Vista Home Premium, but 2.4 went in easily.

Just to answer one niggling question I have left – does this program have any icons in the package, or does everybody have to “Run” it?

Installed fine on Vista, works very well.
Very handy, saves time writing emails!
I like the option to wait for a separator, cuts down on how many keywords to remember for similar phrases.
Also, the option to export all keywords to file is nice.
All in all, a useful app that I will keep.

Glad to see #49 totally spotted the incorrect spelling and typos’s and (as predicted) missed the point totally and proved Lenny_B’s point on how newsgroup/forum posters react :-)

Most people KNOW what people are typing but would rather wander off subject and point out typo’s and GRAMMAR (Better?)
It also proves people need this program to stop the discussion going off point.
*To err is human* as they say!

Having tried this download out, I can find some uses of course but not really for spill chucking as Lenny mentions although I get what he is mentioning.

Download version 2.4 from the publisher’s site and registered with the info from the readme file. I really like this program. It’s fast and easy to learn how to use it. I looked at a few of the alternatives suggestion but In my humble opinion none were as easy to use as Auto Text. I will admit I did not think this would be very useful but I can see where I can get some use from it. Thank you very much GAOTD team. This is another winner. Thank you very much Jitbit Software.

A couple of questions…
1. Can the text have embedded control characters?
ie: Tab, Cr, Lf, F12, ALT-F12, etc.
2. Can the macros have embedded control characters?
3. Will it work in a DOS window? ie: CMD.EXE or COMMAND.COM.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks.
