Well, another option would be to create fields that are specific to your
Quick Parts and use the Content Control, tied to the Quick Parts (AutoText)
and then only those AutoText fields that you want available in the certain
area would be displayed. They could then click the down arrow and select the
specific clause.

Yes, I knew I could type the short form and press F3. Unfortunately, this
is
for new home inspectors that are very unfamilar with Word itself, let along
memorizing short forms of autotext. In Word 2003, at least I could enable
the Autotext toolbar and by using "styles" it would show the name of the
style and only have the text which I had put in that style.

I have a template form which was developed in Word 2003, which utilizes
form
checkboxes, dropdown, text and autotext. I understand that autotext has
been
replaced with the Quick Parts Building Blocks. The first problem I have
is
that the form needs to be protected in order for the checkboxes to work.
However, when I do that, the Quick Parts button (if I go the Content
Control
route)/Building Block Organizer is disabled. When I don't protect the
document, then when I do select a Quick Part (via the Content Control)
which
is assigned a specific category, I cannot select another entry in that
same
Quick Part section. Essentially, in Word 2003, you were able to select an
autotext entry, hit enter to get to the next line and then select anoth
autotext entry. Word 2007 doesn't seem to allow that functionality. Any
help would be appreciated.
