New word 2007
In 2003 there was a handy feature called "auto text" that I used all of the
time to cut back on typing. I can't seem to find a way to do this in the new 2007 and am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. Bob. |

Add the AutoText command to the Quick Access Toolbar by doing the following:
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Word Options. Click Customize. Click Commands Not in the Ribbon in the Choose commands from list, click AutoText, and then click Add. -- Hope this helps.

Hi Bob,
Click File (Office Button) | Word Options | Customize, select "commands not in the ribbon" then add "AutoText" then click OK. AutoText will now be in the quick-access toolbar.

To add something to the AutoText gallery, enter the text into the document,
highlight it, click the AutoText button, and select "Save Selection to AutoText Gallery." To edit it later, click the AutoText button then right-click the AutoText object you added. You can then select "Edit Properties..." You will also notice the "Organize and Delete" option. This will get you to the same place as if you had gone to the Insert tab and selected Quick Parts | Building Blocks Organizer. I haven't figured out the functionality of Building Blocks fully yet (I plan to), but it is basically a collection of reusable objects. In fact, I assume its presence has a lot to do with why the AutoText feature is now buried. So basically, when you add the AutoText, it adds it as a Building Block. It will either be saved in the document template you are currently using or the "Building Blocks.dotx" file, depending on what you choose when editing the properties.
