Default How do you create autotext for often used words?

You type as many unique characters for the name of the autotext entry and
press F3. It works in the same way as it always did. You no longer have the
autocomplete feature.

Your autotext is now in the Building Blocks template.

You can add the "Autotext" command to your QAT. Then to make your life easy
you can highlight a new autotext and click on the Autotext Icon on QAT and
click on "Save Selection to Autotext Gallery" - that's a quick way. Remember
you can now categorise your Autotext if you wish with Category names.

Otherwise you can go to Building Blocks template - go to tab
Insert
Quick Parts
Building Blocks Organiser

And you will see your Autotext.

You can also save as Quick Parts entries in Galleries instead of as Autotext
entries.

Hope this helps.
