Autotext Headings
Greetings,
Is there a way to create a new Autotext heading to store my new Autotext entries. I see that "Attention Line", "Closing", "Header/Footer" are some of the preset headings, could I name one "MyTopics" if I wanted to and then store Autotext choices under it? Thanks, |

G'Day Bryan,
Yes! Note that formatting may be stored as well. You could create a layout in Word that includes differing fonts, sizes, bolding etc., and then select it and store it as "WhatEverNameYouLike". Make sure that you include the Paragraph Mark(s) in your selection. It can include Tables etc as well -- Regards, Pat Garard Australia _______________________ "Bryan" wrote in message ...

Thanks, The categories in the AutoText menu are the names of the paragraph styles the items had when they were stored. To create a new category, define a new style (it doesn't have to have any formatting different from Normal, just a new name) and apply that style to the text before you store it as an AutoText. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...n/AutoText.htm for more info. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Yes. Use different styles. The styles may be created just for this purpose
and need not differ from your body text style. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm. Note that unless you want to include formatting in your AutoText entries (and import these styles, do not include paragraph marks in your selections when you add the entries. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
