Word 2000 autocorrect or autotext character limit
Is there a way to use autocorrect or autotext for sections of text that are
larger then the 255 character limit. I am using Word 2000. I understand that newer versions don't have this limitation. |

There is no such limit for AutoText in Word 2000 or later (not sure about Word 97). The *names* of AutoText entries are limited to 32 characters (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211489), but the entries themselves can contain entire documents. There is a 255 character limit on *unformatted* AutoCorrect entries. When you go into the AutoCorrect dialog to define an entry, if you click the Formatted option button it will accept much larger entries. I haven't tried to find out how large, but it took more than 2000 characters without complaining. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
