Thanks again Terry, I am getting the hang of this - However the first time I
began to enter in the shortcut the pop up auto complete came up but not any
time since. Why would that be?

Select the text or object, press Alt+F3 and you should be prompted to create
a shortcut name. Be careful with the convenion you decide to use for the
shortcuts. Avoid anything that will be used in everyday typing as
AutoComplete popups will plague your life! Also note the first 4 characters
will trigger the autoComplete popup, so you want to use AutoComplete for
speed, make sure that you don't repeat those first four characters if it can
be avoided.
For example, if you used 'comp' as the shortcut for inserting your full
company name, the AutoComplete would pop up everytime you type a word
starting 'comp' and there is an awful lot of words starting like that!

Thanks Terry - I have the auto text toolbar and when I 'add' text I do not
get the short cut key assign. How do I get this? I use insert - type the
words then 'add'.

Look at AutoText: this allows you to create and save virtually anything
in
Word (text, words, tables, graphics, etc) and assign a shortcut code
which
can be repeated using the shortcut code +F3.

OK no experience with this at all!!
I have a document that is arrange in a series of tables so that under a
specific heading scores can be entered and then a large part of the
table
is
for comments.
I would like to have a series of standard comments on another document
that
can be merged into the original table comment area by using a code or
hot
key
or such that will remove the manual repitition.
I thought I would need to create part of the table that has the
comments
area as a field? and then ????
Understand what I am trying to do??
