Quick Parts - autotext
Still trying to get to grips with the new 2007 version. I have trolled
through all the help files and on the net and I cannot find a quick way of inserting the auto text. I can put a new entry in by selecting the text and pressing Alt F3, but F3 will not expand the text out, it just puts in the letters I have named it and says type text after it. In Word 2003 a small balloon would appear by the word that would expand into Auto text and you could press enter, or F3 to expand the text. Is there something in the settings that I need to adjust to make this happen or alternatively a quick way to expand the auto text. If you have to go into the building blocks organizer, there does not seem a quick way to find the entry either. Margaret |

You have to type the name you gave the AutoText entry and then press F3 to
insert it. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Margaret Upton" wrote in message ...

Quick Parts - autotext
Thats what I was doing, but it does not work it just comes up with the name
I type and nothing else. Any suggestions. This is actually for someone else, it works on my machine perfectly well, but when you press F3 on hers it does not work, just gives you the letters you typed and does not expand out.

That suggests that the AutoText was not save in normal.dot so cannot be
'seen' by the current document. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Margaret Upton" wrote in message ...
