It seems as if the F3 key has been assigned to the BuildingBlockOrganizer
command. That explains why you are seeing the Building Blocks Organizer
dialog box when you press F3.

To re-assign the F3 key, do the following: In the Categories box, click "All
Commands." Under "Commands," click InsertAutoText. Place the insertion point
in the "Press new shortcut key" box. Press F3. Then click the Assign button.
Make sure "Save changes in" is set to "Normal.dotm" and click Close.

Many thanks for reply .... however .....
May need to go through this idiot proof with me please !!
Was told by a colleague in work to do the following ;
In categories box ---- highlight INSERT TAB
In commands box ----- highlight BUILDING BLOCK ORGANISER
In current key box ------ F3
In press new shortcut key box ---- f3
hen press ASSIGN

This has all been done ... is this correct ?? Is this going along with
what
you have advised?

HELP !! have recently converted to the dark side and now using word
2007
!!
Managed to copy over my autotext shortcuts (F3) from Word2000 and was
happily
using them until about 4 days ago. Now what happens is ...... e.g.
type
in
nn for nuttie netballer and whereas I would have just pressed f3 key to
see
this in full I am now looking at a box which says "Building Blocks
Organiser". Can see all my autotexts there but am now having to scroll
thru
list, find the one I want to use and press insert - but then I have to
go
back because where it has printed nuttie netballer the shortcut of nn
is
in
front of it so I have to go back to delete it.
This is driving me mad .... has anyone got any ideas?
Would be appreciated if someone can offer some help.
