Autocorrect/Autotext
I would like to use a few abbreviations as a shorthand in a Word template
which is a time sheet, e.g., "cmc" for Case Management Conference, "cc" for Conference Call. This is simple enough. My question is whether I can limit this Autocorrection to a particular document/template? The obvious reason that some things that I want as Autocorrections in my template I would NOT want changed in other documents, for example "cc" in a letter. |

Autocorrect/Autotext
Only AutoText can be limited to a specific template. AutoCorrect is global
across all of the Office applicatins. What you can do is create an AutoText entry using "cmc" as the name. Note you will not see an AutoComplete tip if an AutoText name is shorter than 4 characters so to use it in a document, type the AutoText name, cmc, followed by F3 to insert it. Otherwise you'll need something else for your AutoCorrect entries such as 1cc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Joe McGuire" wrote in message ...

Autocorrect/Autotext
AutoText entries can be limited to specific templates, by saving them in
that template (see the mention of the "Look in" box in step 2 of http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom.../AutoText.htm). AutoCorrect entries can't be limited that way; they're the same for all of Word (and those that are unformatted entries are the same for all of Office). -- 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.
