f3 and autotext 2007
Can anyone out there help?? - This is Chapter 1 !!!!
Have recently moved over to word 2007. Managed after some time searching round how to use autotext in 2007 using, as before, f3 as my shortcut key. For no reason, 2 days ago f3 stopped working - I didnt alter or touch a thing ... honest ! Now what happens is when, for example, I enter ys for Yours Sincerely and press f3 instead of Yours Sincerely appearing I am now faced with a box marked "Building Blocks Organiser". I can see all my autotexts sitting there but I now have to highlight whatever one I want to use and press insert. I know it works but its a pain because you have to search the list for your relevant text and its too long winded doing it this way round. Also, when Yours Sincerely does come up on screen, you have the shortcut of ys in front of it so you then have to go back and delete it!! |

f3 and autotext 2007
In the Customize Keyboard dialog box (Office button | Word Options,
Customize category, click the Customize button), make sure that F3 is assigned to the InsertAutoText command. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "nuttie netballer" wrote in message ...

f3 and autotext 2007
To add to the previous replies, when you're in the Building Blocks Organizer, and you type, from your example,
YS you should jump right to the first named entry with what you're typing. If you don't have the organizer sorted by name (click on the column heading) where it jumps to can seem confusing ================== "nuttie netballer" nuttie wrote in message ...
