ActiveWords – Program for an Individual Windows User

ActiveWords is a free program for an individual Windows user. This app enables using cue words to do a number of tasks on a Windows system. To understand how this functions let us take a peek into the app.

Once the program is downloaded, installed, click the yellow “add” button in the toolbar. This will give a bunch of options to add some shortcuts. The first option is “Substitute text” where you type what text you want to show up and the description and a keyword for replacement. The next option is “launch a program” which would need a keyword connected to program you want to launch. “Open document” enables you to open a document using a keyword. “Navigate to an internet site”, “send an email”, “open a folder” and “scripting” are other tasks that active words can perform. Once you have designated keywords for different tasks you are good to go. Whenever you want to use any of the ActiveWords you’ve set up, you do so by typing in the chosen ActiveWord in a word document and then hitting SPACE twice. The other way is to use F8 to trigger them either having highlighted the activeword or directly after typing it.

Sometimes navigating through folders can be tedious or having to type in your signature everytime is annoying, even remembering certain websites. This app speeds up your work and makes it hassle-free to perform different tasks on your windows by just using key words.
