Here's the kind of thing I do a million times. I've just copied some
text from a web page into Word. Now I want to copy the URL of that web
page into Word.
I do Alt+Tab to switch back to the Internet Exporer page.
I press Alt+D to place cursor in address bar.
I press Ctrl+C to copy the address.
I use Alt+Tab switch back to Word.
I press Ctrl+V to paste the url into Word.
Would there be a way to automate these five steps into one action,
whether done by a .vbs file or some other means?
