Autotext
I used a template on Word 2003 where I inserted an autotext paragraph by
entering a code in the body of the template for example, IN1750 and pressing enter would insert a paragraph of text. In the new Word 2007 when I enter the code and press enter it just leaves the code in there! I have to select the building blocks menu, enter the code and press insert to get that paragraph inserted into my document. How do I fix this to get it back to the way it should work? |

Autotext
If your paragraph is 256 characters or less, you can add it to autocorrect
and have it work like it used to in autotext. Select - Office button, word options, proofing, autocorrect options and enter IN1750 as the replace text and your paragraph as the with... If you have your paragraph selected before you open autocorrect options, it will already be listed in the With: box for you.

Autotext
If you press F3 instead of Enter, you will get the results you want.
