send out ascii code

Hi

Im looking for a way to create ascii code in my max patch and then send it out to other programs im running at the time.

i.e looking for a way to simulate typing or keystrokes - press a bang and the patch types a sentence in word for instance. All the googling i have done so far keeps bringing me back to arduino. I was wondering if there was a way to do this with just Max.

Any help would be hugely appreciated

Cheers
