I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to enter a heart AND a diamond
simultaneously, but wants to produce a document about poker or bridge
(etc.) with suitably colored symbols. So he needs two separate
routines in order to be able to type either one.
I'd recomment that he then assign the four suit symbols to mnemonic
keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl-S, Ctrl-H, Ctrl-D, and Ctrl-C are already
busy, so Ctrl-Alt- S, H, D, C might be best. The -S and -C shortcuts
are simply assigned within Insert Symbol; to assign shortcuts to
macros, an easy way to do it is to choose "Customize QAT" and click
"Customize" near the lower right. Then choose the macro from the
dropdown above, type the shortcut, and click "Assign."
Oops, he didn't say which version of Word.
Also, it's convenient to simply include the macro in your message here
(it took a long time for your link to open!) unless it's quite long,
like the one you made for me; and when you make a macro for someone,
it's helpful to include the link to the instructions for installing
it:
