Default Recording macros

Thanks suzanne but I wish to store many different paragraphs fo rinsertion at
various different stages and the keystroke macro works much better than
autotext for me

What is it that you think this macro is supposed to do?

From your description, it selects the text from the cursor to the end of
the
current paragraph
It copies the selected text to the clipboard, then pastes it back over
the
selection, so while the macro is undoubtedly working, it will not appear
to
do anything as the end result will be the same as what you started with
(though you should still have the selected text stored in the clipboard).
