Autotext display in Word 2007
I was wondering if there was anyway to change the display of the autotext
entries in Word 2007. Ala, possibly something similar to Word 2003, i.e. where you had drop down menus for each category and no previews. I have over 300 entries into autotext and the Word 2007 version permits very problematic browsing and selection of this many autotext entries. -- Eric |

Autotext display in Word 2007
Hi ?B?Z3JpemZiNzU=?=,
I was wondering if there was anyway to change the display of the autotext entries in Word 2007. Ala, possibly something similar to Word 2003, i.e. where you had drop down menus for each category and no previews. I have over 300 entries into autotext and the Word 2007 version permits very problematic browsing and selection of this many autotext entries. You can show the old dialog box using a macro: Sub ShowAutoTextDialog() Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText).Show End Sub the title across the top of the dialog box is wrong (it says AutoCorrect) but the rest of it appears to be intact.

Autotext display in Word 2007
Cindy, thanks so much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately I am unfamilar on how to insert this code in to the appropriate place so that it will function correctly. I tried recording a macro using the lines of text you supplied me but it did not seem to work. If you could provide a little more guidence on how to create the macro so that it will function correctly, I would greatly appreciate it. I did follow the help commands in Microsoft Office, but those did not seem to help.

Autotext display in Word 2007
Never mind that last post, I believe I got the macro to function correctly
through the Visual Basic editor. It seems the Macro pulls up the Auto Text entry box similar to Word 2003. However, I was wondering if there was any way to display the list of autotext entries similar to how it was done in Word 2003. Where you had them listed in Sub menus from a drop down menu. That is what I am really going after. Thanks again. -- eric "Cindy M." wrote: Hi ?B?Z3JpemZiNzU=?=, I was wondering if there was anyway to change the display of the autotext entries in Word 2007.

Autotext display in Word 2007
Hi ?B?Z3JpemZiNzU=?=,
However, I was wondering if there was any way to display the list of autotext entries similar to how it was done in Word 2003. Where you had them listed in Sub menus from a drop down menu. That is what I am really going after. Yes, it should be possible, but the approach isn't as "simple" as displaying the dialog box. You'd need to recreate the functionality, and this could get very complicated, dealing with the new RibbonX... What you might try, before you pursue that route (and in the word.vba.general newsgroup, please, where you'll find many more experts to help) is: Create a new template in Word 2003 (or 2002). Create and save a new toolbar in this template. While still in Customize mode, hold CTRL (to copy) and drag this menu item from Word's built-in menus to your toolbar. Close the template (saving the changes) and copy it to the Office 2007 machine, putting it in the STARTUP folder. This should load the Toolbar with the dropdown menu in the Add-ins tab on the Ribbon. All the functionality is still in Word, so the entries should be there (although I haven't tested it - this is all theoretical - be interesting to find out if it works).
