Default Creating a masterlist and using it to create custom lists

Thanks Mr. Tyson you have been a great help.

You can't do them all at once (unless each one is contained inside an
autotext field code... but going that route seems like it'd be just as much
work).

However, you don't need to use the dialog method to insert them once the
list exists. Just put the cursor at the end of each one and press F3. For a
list of a dozen items, this repetitive action woud probably take only a few
seconds to perform. If you have hundreds to insert at a time, then I would
look at using a macro.

Thanks Mr. Tyson!

Can I type up a series of numbers from my list and it will automatically
insert those statements to my custom document or do I have to do it one by
one? I tried it but only got to do 1 number at a time.

You could do this using AutoText. I suggest that you take a look at
AutoText
in Word's help file. If you want to insert the items by number, you could
name them using numbers, e.g., i1, i2, i3, etc.

Hi microsoft Gods,
I am trying to figure out how I can type a masterlist of statements
that have been bulleted. Then I want to create a custom list by just
typing
in the bullet number and viola' the statement is inserted into my
custome
list.

The list is already existing in 2003 Word.

I am using Word. Do I need to buy another program?
