storing more than 300 auto text entries
In word 2000, useing Auto Text, i want to create about 400 different entries
and give each entry a unique code. The code followed by F3 will recall any entry i want. Great feature, but i can only input 100 entries , then i start to overwrite after 100. I am creating a directory of faults for an Electrical Company that a secretary can easily access, Auto Text fits the bill. can anyone please help. |

While autotext (and autocorrect for that matter) will do what you want, you
may like to give some thought to using a specialised application for this.I discovered Ghosttyper XML - http://www.sc-data.de/ghosttyper/en/index.php3 a while back and I use it to store standard texts, primarily for use in newsgroup posts (which of course are not available to autotext). It will work in all applications and can use a variety of libraries of texts. You can even use the same name for two insertions and it pops up with the choice. I tend to use shortcut in the form #text . Essentially it takes the concept of autocorrect a step further. Well worth a look. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Auto Text Help wrote: In word 2000, useing Auto Text, i want to create about 400 different entries and give each entry a unique code.

ActiveWords is another app frequently recommended for this purpose (also
works across all apps). -- Suzanne S.
