Hi Dominika

Thank you for your question.

Yes, you can record a macro to do this.

Go to Tools - Macro - Record new macro.

Enter a name for the macro (it must not have spaces in it) and also at this point you should be able to create a keyboard shortcut to run the macro.

Once you have done this and clicked OK, Word will start recording so you can type in your sign off and then click the Stop Recording button.

The macro should run fine - you just need to have your cursor sitting in the letter at the point where you want the sign off entered.

Word tip:

Multiple Cut and Pastes in MS Word

If you need to cut and paste more than one selection into a document, you don't need to Cut & Paste repeatedly, just use the built in SPIKE feature.

To use; you can Cut two or more items from nonadjacent locations. This adds those items to the Spike's contents. Then paste the items as a group in a new location or document. The items remain in the Spike so you can insert them repeatedly. If you want to add a different set of items to the Spike, you must first empty the Spike's contents.

Here's how to do it:
Step 1: To move an item to the Spike, select the text or graphic you want, and then press CTRL+F3. You can repeat this step for each additional item you want to move to the Spike.

Step 2: Place your cursor where you want to insert the Spike's contents.

Step 3: select keystroke CTRL+SHIFT+F3 to insert and empty the Spike's contents
