TypeItIn Professional Version 2.0

Thank you for using TypeItIn Version 2.0 By Paul P.M. Beuger.

Visit the TypeItIn WebSite or email us at typeitin@wavget.com for questions, comments, or suggestions.

TypeItIn was created to make it easier to fill out forms on the web or any other program. Any string you need to type frequently can be assigned to a button. For example, you can create a button called 'FirstName' that will type 'Paul' wherever the cursor is in your active window.

TypeItIn Professional is shareware, and shareware is supported by YOU, the user, so make sure you read How to register TypeItIn.

TypeItIn Special Features

You can Roll Up the TypeItIn window to reduce it's size. Right click on the Title Bar and select Roll Up from the pop up menu. The TypeItIn window will be reduced to the size of the title bar. To restore the window to it's original size, Right click on the Title Bar and select Un Roll from the pop up menu or click on the Keyboard Icon in the task bar tray.


Using TypeItIn to type information into other programs

Simply put the text cursor where you want TypeItIn to type by clicking with your mouse. Then click the button in TypeItIn, and TypeItIn will type in the text assigned to that button.

TypeItIn works by stuffing keys into the windows keyboard buffer, so programs can not tell the difference between a person typing and TypeItIn.

You can use TypeItIn to perform any repetitive task. Use it to enter your name and address into forms, use it to create HTML pages, or to add special signatures to the end of emails. It's applications are only limited by your imagination!


Password Protecting a Group

You can prevent unauthorized usage of specific groups in TypeItIn by protecting them with a password. For example, you could protect a group that contains buttons with password or credit card information.

To protect a Group with a password, Right click on the Group List and select Password Protect from the pop up menu. Then type the password you want to use. You will then be asked to re-type the password to verify it.

After you add a password to a group, you can still switch to it, but the first time you try to use a button you will be asked to enter the password. After that all the buttons will function normally! You should switch to another group before you leave your computer unattended.

Read Removing a Group Password Protection for more information on how to remove password protection from a group.

Warning! This password protection is to prevent casual misuse only! It is in no way intended to completely protect your sensitive information. All information is saved in typeitin.ini and typeitin.dat without any encryption.

Note: This feature is only available in the Professional Version of TypeItIn.


Removing a Group Password Protection

To remove password protection for a Group, Right click on the Group List and select Remove Password from the pop up menu. You will be asked to enter the current password for the group from verification.

You can also have TypeItIn start automatically when you start your computer. In the Start menu, click on Settings - TaskBar and then on the Start Menu Programs tab. Click the Add button and then click Browse to find the TypeItIn.exe file. The default installation directory is c:\program files\typeitin. Then click Next and the Startup Program Folder.

Editing an existing button

You can edit the information for a button by Right clicking on it and selecting Edit Button from the pop up menu. You can then modify any of the settings in the Edit Button window. Click the Done button to update the button information when you are finished.

You can also insert the Date or Time, Select from a List, or Run an external program.

See the Adding a new Button section for more information.


Adding a New Button

To add a new button, Right click on another button and select New Button from the popup menu. The Button Edit Window will pop up and you can Name the button. The name is the text you will see on the button. Click on the Color button to change the color of the text on the button.

You can also add a Hint to the button. The hint will be displayed when you move your mouse over the button as a small yellow window.

You can then add what text you want to be typed when you press the button. For example, if the button name was First Name, then I would make it type Paul.

There are a few special charaters you can add:

Enter:	{enter}

Tab:	{tab}

Left Arrow:	{left}

Right Arrow:	{right}

Up Arrow:	{up}

Down Arrow:	{down}

You can also insert the Date or Time, Select from a List, or Run an external program.

For example, when you press the Tab key, it will display {tab} in the text window. To fill out a form that requests your name and email address, you could use: Paul Beuger{tab}typeitin@wavget.com{tab}{enter} The {enter} at the end pressed the 'Ok' button to send the information.

You can also use the Record function to automatically record your keystrokes into the text window. That way you can fill out a form once, and TypeItIn will record everything you type, so the next time you can simple press the button and TypeItIn will fill out the form exactly as you did.

Click the Done button when you are finished to save the information.


Deleting a Button

To Delete a Button, Right click on the button and select Delete Button form the pop up menu. You will be asked if you are sure that you want to delete the button, click Ok to delete the button, or Cancel to keep it.
