Default autotext and f3 key

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?

In Office button | Word Options, Customize tab, click the Customize button
to open the Customize Keyboard dialog box. Make sure that F3 is assigned to
the InsertAutoText command.

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.
