Ligerator
I’ve put the Ligerator online. It’s a simple web-based tool which lets you easily generate a Microsoft Word macro to do a bunch of text replacements.
My main reason for developing it was to maintain scripts for typographic ligature replacement, for example to transform:
into:
Once you’ve set it up, you can bookmark a magic URL which allows you to return to the preset, make some changes and re-generate a new macro, or share it with someone else.
The code generated should be portable across Word versions and platforms, however I’ve only tested on Word 2007 running on Windows.
p.s., if you don’t see the difference in the two samples above, Ligerator is clearly not for you.
