The help will help you a lot. This is the correct syntax for WriteLn>

WriteLn>c:\temp\test.txt,result,%variable% Literal Text

So you can replace all of this:

send>%RandomWord%
putclipboard>%RandomWord%
GetClipBoard>%RandomWord%
writeln>c:\documents,text.txt,%RandomWord%

With just:

WriteLn>c:\documents\test.txt,result,%RandomWord%

Don't forget to include "result", see the help for why.

This will type the value of randomword and then save it to a text file:

Send>randomword
WriteLn>textfile,result,randomword

Absolutely no need to put the word on the clipboard and then take it off again!
