Should put the code into '['code']' you code there '['/code']' without the '

It's easier to read

Pretty sure its because your sending so much text at the same time in one go, copy it to the clip board and then paste it. I also added a little Sleep() and changed the Run function so you can open up your word document faster and easier. I got rid of the WinWait stuff cause I don't know what the title would be lol, so you should add that back in.

Run('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE "TEST document.doc"')

Sleep(5000)

ClipPut("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")

For $A = 5 to 1 Step - 1
   Send("^v"); Not sure if this would work >> Send(ClipGet())
   Send("{ENTER}")
   Sleep(10)
Next

send("!N")

Still cpu hog because of what's being sent, might want to play with the option

I tried this at the top dropped cpu usage down to less than half

Opt("SendKeyDelay",10)

default is 5 ms

I need to create a script which will generate some keystroke so copy paste will not work.. what else can i do for reducing the cpu load

gafrost gave you your answer on how to modify your original script to reduce the CPU load... but per your request, here is a script that will "generate some keystroke" and does not use much CPU time.

AutoItSetOption ("SendKeyDelay", 20)
AutoItSetOption ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
AutoItSetOption ("TrayIconDebug", 1)

HotKeySet ("{PAUSE}", "Terminate")

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("Notepad")
WinActivate("Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Notepad")

For $i = 1 to 5
   For $ii = 1 to 10
      Send("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. ")
   Next
   Send("{ENTER}")
Next

EXIT
Func Terminate()
   EXIT
EndFunc

If you want to use MS Word - then change the "Run line" and the subsequent "Win... lines" of code.

The reason for shortening this line

send("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. ")

is to allow for quick termination of the script. Hitting pause will not exit the script until the "Send line" has completed. The same is true of attempting to exit the script via the system tray icon.

What is this script for?
