Default Inserting standard text into mails

I use Word when creating my emails.
When answering customers mail I normally use some standard text that can be
from 5 to 10 lines long.
It includes links på webbpages and other information that suit this special
customer.

What I need to know is how to create the (different) standard texts and
easily be able to chose and include one (or more) of them in my mail.

Type your blurb in word and format and highlight. Goto Tools,
Autocorrect,AutoText Tab and name it.

In a new email type the name you created and you should see the first part
of your autotext appear in a box - this shows you that you can click on enter
to make it appear.

Only handy if you can still remember what the blurb is called though so make
it something memorable!

Also, if you apply the same paragraph style to all the blurbs before you
make them into AutoText entries (and the style can be one that you make up
yourself, with the same formatting as Normal style), you can then make an
AutoTextList field. That lets you choose the one you want from a dropdown
menu. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm for
instructions.
