plain autotext formatting
Hi All,
I sometimes have trouble getting the autotext Not to be formatted. Usually if I select just the word or phrase itself and not the formatting of the next word, it comes out as plain formatting. But not always. Suggestions? tia Gil TenSecondMedicalRecord.com |

plain autotext formatting
If you're really talking about AutoText (not AutoCorrect), then the trick is
not to include a paragraph mark in your selection. If you don't have nonprinting marks displayed, this can be a real challenge, especially if you have not disabled "When selecting, automatically select entire word" and/or "Smart paragraph selection" (Tools | Options | Edit). -- Suzanne S.

plain autotext formatting
Hi Suzanne, ... glad to see you're still here with the group over the years.
Yep, I'm talking about AutoText and not autocorrect. Yep, I did not include the paragraph mark. I tried unselecting the automatic entire word and smart paragraph selection tools But still, it's recording the formatting too. I still have enumerable ones that are intentionally not formatted and still work fine. And as I check, I can still make new autotexts that are of plain format. But there is one that just doesn't. I think you've got me on the right track. I deleted the short cut autotext. Closed Word entirely. I then opened and re-created it, and it's now working fine. It seems that the replace function for autotext was not working. Thanks, Gil "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

plain autotext formatting
Sometimes a new AutoText entry does not replace an existing one. This can be
because they're saved (with the same name) in different templates, so you have to check on the Save location to make sure you're overwriting. If you don't get asked whether you want to replace the existing entry, then you can be sure that something is wrong. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
I hear you about making sure you altering the right attached or added-in templates. And I was adding to the right template. The attached template I often use is about 6 MB so its size might play a role too. At least I've got a work around and I'm happy with that for now. Cheers .
