In Word 2007 How do I make repeated phrases automatically generate
In Word 2000, there was a way to make repeated phrases automatically populate
by selecting "enter" after a pharse was saved as text, auto insert. Is there a way to do this in the new Word 2007? That is one feature I'd miss terribly. Any advice appreciated. |

In Word 2007 How do I make repeated phrases automatically generate
That part of the AutoText feature is gone. If your text is fairly short (a
phrase?) then you can use AutoCorrect to set it up so you can type a shortcut and have it automatically enter your text. Select your text and go to Office Button-Word Options-Proofing tab. Click the Autocorrect button and give your text a name. (don't use a real word!). Then hitting space, enter, or any other AutoCorrect trigger will enter your text for you. If it's longer and you need it as an AutoText entry, you can assign a keyboard shortcut using the Keyboard Customize dialog. Office Button-Word Options-Customize Tab, click the Customize button for Keyboard Shortcuts. AutoText is near the bottom of the Categories list. Select an entry and apply a shortcut. Otherwise, the AT feature has been replaced with Quick Parts. You can find it on the Insert tab in the Text group. You'll need to use the QP gallery to insert your AutoText (or one of the other galleries, if you are creating a custom header or whatnot).

It still works to type the name of an AutoText entry and press F3 to
insert the entry. What's gone is the "AutoComplete" part of the feature that displayed the entry in a yellow popup tag when it was recognized and let you press Enter to finish it. -- 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.
