Assign a string to a key.

How do I assign a single key (eg. F10) to represent my email address? This
would avoid lengthy typing every time I need to use it.

If you need it only in Office, assign it to an AutoCorrect entry. An alternative
(but IMO a poor one) would be to record a macro of typing the address, and
assign a shortcut key to the macro
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToHotkey.htm).

A better solution, which works everywhere in Windows, is to use a keymapping
program. There are a number of free ones around; the one I use is AutoHotKey
(www.autohotkey.com).
