I would create a macro with a keyboard assignment if you just want the
initials and a colon at the beginning of each line. It's simple enough to
do.

Hi -

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to customize a hotkey to
insert
text that I specify. I'm using Word to produce a transcript of an audio
interview where the format is Q&A with each new line beginning with the
speaker's initials and a colon. It's very time consuming to type this
on
each new line so I'm hoping I can use a hot key to help. I'm using
word97.
Thanks
