Hi that setting worked for almost all of her entries, except for a few. I
have deleted those, and reentered them, and that didn't help, but, again,
they appear in the insert autotext menu, and using f3 does insert them. Any
other ideas? Thank you

help on this is not helpful. Have a great day.

Are you sure you're not confusing AutoCorrect and AutoText? In Word 2003 and
earlier, if Show AutoComplete suggestions is enabled, once a sufficiently
unambiguous portion of an AutoText name has been typed, a box appears with
the suggested autocompletion, and you can press Enter to complete it.
AutoCorrect entries, on the other hand, expand when a word separator (space,
comma, period, etc.) is typed.
So... if you really are talking about AutoText, make sure that Show
AutoComeplete suggesitons is ticked in the AutoText tab of the AutoCorrect
dialog box. If it is ticked... are the AutoComplete suggestions showing up
at all?

I have a user whose autotext does not work when she hits enter. I have
checked the autocorrect options, and all the tabs in that dialog box, as
well. her entries are long enough. Strangely Alt f3 does work, as well
as
the insert button. Any ideas?
