Is there a way to paste a parse into a specific channel using a macro.  I know ctrl + v is the paste command but i want to paste the parse into lets say channel one. how can i make that into a macro?

You can't.  Ctrl-V is the default windows 'Paste' command, and serves to paste information from windows clipboard into whatever application you paste it into. The reason you can't macro this onto a hotkey is because it is not everquest that is handling the pasting of the clipboard information, it is windows.  Ctrl-V tells windows to put whatever is on the clipboard to wherever the cursor is currently (you can confirm this by pasting your parse into notepad, for instance).  Everquest does not have a 'variable' of some sort that represents a 'paste' of clipboard information.  As the hotkey macro's can only handle pure text and variables/commands, and everquest itself does not have a 'command' or variable representing ctrl-V, it is not possible. I'm sorry that typing /1 (ctrl-V) is a headache <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

To do this youd need to do it within ACT by changing the output under text only formatting. Just make sure the channel number stays the same every time you login.
