You can assign a shortcut to the ToolsAutoCorrect command in Customize/
Keyboard, then highlight your word/phrase and press the shortcut. You
word/phrase will already be in the With box.

There's no shortcut to making AutoCorrect entries, so you might want to use
AutoText instead, since that allows you to select text (such as an address),
press Alt+F3, give it a name, and save it to the appropriate gallery
(AutoText or some other you create). To insert the entry, you can type the
first few letters of the entry name (enough to be unique) and press F3.

Yes, I'm using this to insert mailing addresses into letters for every
doc.
Is there a quick key combo to get save an autocorrect without having to go
through the main menu?

Then when needing the address type the identifier and hit F3. *I know

Thanks to all of the posters/MVP's on this board for their help.
