Re: HotSpot InstructionsDate:
Fri, Jan 6, 2012 3:16:07 pmThe tutorial that Jeremy mentioned is an audio tutorial. There's nothing
video about it except for the word video in the URL. HotSpot has the
power to do a lot of different things, so to say it's beyond your
capabilities just means you haven't found a use for it yet. You can do
things that are as simple at speaking a string when a key is pressed to
creating complex macro-like hot spots that perform a number of tasks
with just a simple keystroke. To paraphrase Jeremy, you have to know
what kind of house you want to build before you start hammering boards
together.
