Hi Neil154,
Yes, you can change the behavior of the keys in Windows by installing keyboard layout changing software.
The links provided below shows how to install the software and change the mapping of keys:
Note: We do not recommend changing the keyboard mapping. These are 3rd party websites with their own terms and conditions; hence the software may or may not work.

Thanks for the response but it looks like Smartkeys will not do what I want. I want to be able program a function to type a few words into where ever the cursor is. It looks like to me that SmartKeys will only repregram a key to perform the function of another key.
Do you have any other suggestions?
