    HELP!!! character by character read and retype

    I am completely new to the macro world but Im discovering its quite vast and slightly overwhelming. I was hoping someone could help me with what seems to be a simple problem but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm looking to have the macro do a character by character read within 1 cell and re-type(character by character) in a separate window. I'm specificallly looking for at least the logic behind doing this and not just the copy and paste function. In essence I want the macro to read an entire word and actually re-type it. I repeat NOT COPY AND PASTE. lol

    What is this other window?

    Does it belong to another application?

    Yes it does. The clipboard is not functional in the other application which is why I need a character by character read and re-type.

    You'll need to look into Windows API for that I think.
