auto insert text
When you create the AutoText, make sure that it includes a paragraph mark
(¶). If you are using Word 2007, note that AutoComplete is no longer supported for AutoText. Instead, make use of AutoCorrect. To create your AutoCorrect entry: Create an example paragraph with the contents and formatting that you want. Select the whole paragraph, including the paragraph mark. Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Proofing category, click AutoCorrect Options. Select "Replace text as you type" (if necessary). In the "Replace" box, type the word that you want to replace. In the "With" box, you should see a preview of your current selection (and "Formatted text" should be selected). Click Add to create the AutoCorrect entry, and then click OK twice. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "PawlingJohn" wrote in message ...

auto insert text
for 2003 and prior, select the Text you wish to have as a new entry, Alt+F3,
enter a unique name, enter, that is it. Be aware that these entries are saved in your Normal.dot. If you want the entry to have a specific format, include in the selection the Paragraph Mark, if left out no formatting will be assigned and when the entry is used it is assigned the style of where the cursor is. These can be used for complex items as well; such as Tables, Headers/Footers (i.e. for landscape orientation), Table/Figure Captions; not just simple words. For more on AutoText, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm and http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Word2007_B...&_AutoText.htm. -- Hope this helps DeanH "PawlingJohn" wrote: I would like to insert one word and have it automatically insert a paragraph.
