In the Customize Keyboard dialog box (Office button | Word Options,
Customize category, click the Customize button), make sure that F3 is
assigned to the InsertAutoText command.

Can anyone out there help?? - This is Chapter 1 !!!!
Have recently moved over to word 2007. Managed after some time searching
round how to use autotext in 2007 using, as before, f3 as my shortcut key.
For no reason, 2 days ago f3 stopped working - I didnt alter or touch a
thing ... honest !
Now what happens is when, for example, I enter ys for Yours Sincerely and
press f3 instead of Yours Sincerely appearing I am now faced with a box
marked "Building Blocks Organiser". I can see all my autotexts sitting
there
but I now have to highlight whatever one I want to use and press insert.
I
know it works but its a pain because you have to search the list for your
relevant text and its too long winded doing it this way round. Also, when
Yours Sincerely does come up on screen, you have the shortcut of ys in
front
of it so you then have to go back and delete it!!
