Hi, I am very new to this. I have to type a lot of letters & numbers in parentheses and it's cumbersome to have to do it manually.

I'm trying to make a macro (or something similar) in word where I press a button and a letter/ number, then the said letter/number gets put in parentheses. Basically, it would work the same way as pressing shift + a letter to capitalize it.

a3B1 ---> (a)(3)(B)(1)

The only information I could find so far was placing parentheses around highlighted text, but that doesn't really help because the parentheses goes around the whole text instead of each individual letter. If its possible to make something that affect each letter that would work perfectly fine too, I am not picky


Please help!!
