auto text in word 2007
In word 2003, when i used auto text, i was able to type the first few letters
of the word and then hit enter and the word or phrase would pop up. In using the insert text with 2007 i cannot find a way to do that, I have to use the mouse and click on what I was to insert? Is there any way possible to use it the old way in 2003? Thanks for your help. |

auto text in word 2007
Unfortunately, the AutoComplete for AutoText entries was dropped from
2007. The developers ran out of time while trying to make it work properly in the context of Quick Parts and Building Blocks. I hope they'll keep working on it and supply a fix in a service pack. For now, you can type the name of the entry and press F3 to expand it. You need to type enough letters to make what you typed unique, and in any case at least four characters -- these are the same rules that governed when a prompt was shown in Word 2003. The difference is pressing F3 instead of Enter. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
