Default Auto Text Entries

Boy whoever dreamed up the QuickPart feature doesn't know squat about
repetitive entries. I work for a law firm and we use repetition all the time
- Autotext was a lifesaver during many a brief/legal opinion - you know how
verbose lawyers can be. I curse the brilliant bozo who "improved" Word 2003
by eliminating the autotext feature. To take one's hands off the keyboard
(or do multiple keystrokes to find the entry) does NOT save any time.
QuickParts my eye. I am not a happy camper. :-(

Thanks Terry. Is there a keyboard stroke that can be used to enter the
"Quick Part" without having to stop typing and clicking on Insert and Quick
Parts ? (Whose dumb idea was this anyway ?? !!)

AutoText is now called Quick Parts and is under the Insert menu. However,
you can still use it like Autotext by creating your text, selecting it and
using Alt+F3 to create a new Quick Part. Note that the dialog is now
slightly different. If you click on the Gallery option, you'll note that
the top choice is still called Autotext! You can add Insert, AutoText to
the QAT.

Word 2007 - I have several (consecutive) paragraphs I would like to
enter into a document by simply typing a few characters, but can't seem
to find where to make the entry. There are more than 255 characters, so I
can't use Auto Correct. Where's Auto Text hiding ?
