autotext in Word 2003 not working automatically
I have a user whose autotext does not work when she hits enter. I have
checked the autocorrect options, and all the tabs in that dialog box, as well. her entries are long enough. Strangely Alt f3 does work, as well as the insert button. Any ideas? |

autotext in Word 2003 not working automatically
Are you sure you're not confusing AutoCorrect and AutoText? In Word 2003 and
earlier, if Show AutoComplete suggestions is enabled, once a sufficiently unambiguous portion of an AutoText name has been typed, a box appears with the suggested autocompletion, and you can press Enter to complete it. AutoCorrect entries, on the other hand, expand when a word separator (space, comma, period, etc.) is typed. So... if you really are talking about AutoText, make sure that Show AutoComeplete suggesitons is ticked in the AutoText tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box. If it is ticked... are the AutoComplete suggestions showing up at all? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Swedelady" wrote in message ...

help on this is not helpful. Have a great day. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Are you sure you're not confusing AutoCorrect and AutoText?

autotext in Word 2003 not working automatically
Hi that setting worked for almost all of her entries, except for a few. I have deleted those, and reentered them, and that didn't help, but, again, they appear in the insert autotext menu, and using f3 does insert them. Any other ideas?

autotext in Word 2003 not working automatically
The suggestion below worked for most of her entries, but not all. I have
deleted those entries, and re-entered them. no dice, even though they are available from the Insert Autotext menu, and F3 will enter them after she types it. Any more ideas? Thanks.
