I use Autokeys to data enter survey responses. Even when the keystroke data includes a percentage sign, it doesn't appear when invoked. For example, the survey response is: Less than 10%, but here's how it appears when the Autokey is used: Less than 10. Is there a character I should use to make the "%" sign appear?
 
Does this help?
Microsoft said:
The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses ( ) have special meanings to SendKeys. To specify one of these characters, enclose it within braces ({}). For example, to specify the plus sign, use {+}. Brackets ([ ]) have no special meaning to SendKeys, but you must enclose them in braces.
