Default How do you create autotext for often used words?

I also add that if you right mouse click using Autotext icon on QAT you have
menu options also available.

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.
