AutoCorrect is the most efficient way to accomplish this for short pieces of
text; seehttp://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm.
AutoCorrect entries are stored in .acl files, which are what you would have
to share. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm

For longer, more heavily formatted chunks of text, use AutoText. AutoText is
saved in templates. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm
and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm

I'm trying to set up templates or macros to minimize typing by my
transcriptionist. So for example, she enters " HP1" and a pre-formatted
text
or paragraph is automatically inserted to replace HP1

How do you mean? Templates are a way of sharing macros; I don't see how
the
reverse would work.

Are macros another option for sharing templtes between computers?

Thanks
