Both autotext and autocorrect can hold anything that you can reasonably
insert into a document including graphics, tables and text running to many
pages.

But Auto Text is confined to only 255 characters.....not much if you'r
typing a whole paragraph.

AutoCorrect still works as before and can be useful for many entries
of this type.

Boy whoever dreamed up the QuickPart feature doesn't know squat
about repetitive entries. I work for a law firm and we use
repetition all the time
- Autotext was a lifesaver during many a brief/legal opinion - you
know how
verbose lawyers can be. I curse the brilliant bozo who "improved"
Word 2003
by eliminating the autotext feature. To take one's hands off the
keyboard
(or do multiple keystrokes to find the entry) does NOT save any
time. QuickParts my eye. I am not a happy camper. :-(

Thanks Terry. Is there a keyboard stroke that can be used to enter
the "Quick Part" without having to stop typing and clicking on
Insert and Quick
Parts ? (Whose dumb idea was this anyway ?? !!)

AutoText is now called Quick Parts and is under the Insert menu.
However,
you can still use it like Autotext by creating your text,
selecting it and
using Alt+F3 to create a new Quick Part. Note that the dialog is
now slightly different. If you click on the Gallery option,
you'll note that
the top choice is still called Autotext! You can add Insert,
AutoText to
the QAT.

Word 2007 - I have several (consecutive) paragraphs I would
like to enter into a document by simply typing a few characters,
but can't seem
to find where to make the entry. There are more than 255
characters, so I
can't use Auto Correct. Where's Auto Text hiding ?
