Set up auto text in 2007 and then create auto text entries
I have just installed Word 2007. I am a medical transcriptionist and I used
Auto Text in my former version all the time to speed up my work. It used to be accessed the same as auto correct but now the auto text feature is gone. I have spent hours trying to find auto text in 2007. I found a way to display the auto text button on the toolbar but it doesn't allow me to create an entry. I really need help with this as my livelihood depends on it. Thank you so much for any help you can give me....Sandy |

You can also use the shortcut Alt+F3. Be sure to select the Auto Text Gallery in the dialogue box. -- Fredrik E. Nilsen http://fenilsen.wordpress.com |

Set up auto text in 2007 and then create auto text entries
In Word 2007, AutoText is a special case of building blocks, which can be
accessed in many different ways. You can see the properties of any building block via Insert tab | Quick Parts | Building Blocks Organizer, and you can also insert a building block via that dialog box. To create an AutoText entry from the current selection, you can use Insert tab | Quick Parts | Save Selection to Quick Part Gallery, or just press Alt+F3 as in previous versions. Make sure to choose "AutoText" for "Gallery." Also, you can still assign keyboard shortcuts to an AutoText entry (or to any building block) via the Customize Keyboard dialog box. Note, however, that AutoComplete is no longer supported for AutoText. You can type the name of an AutoText entry and then press F3 to insert it, but a more convenient solution might be to make use of AutoCorrect entries (possibly formatted) instead; these still work the same as in older versions of Word. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sandy G."
