I'm trying to set up templates or macros to minimize typing by my
transcriptionist. So for example, she enters " HP1" and a pre-formatted text
or paragraph is automatically inserted to replace HP1

Are macros another option for sharing templtes between computers?

Thanks

AutoCorrect is the most efficient way to accomplish this for short pieces of
text; seehttp://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm.
AutoCorrect entries are stored in .acl files, which are what you would have
to share. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm

For longer, more heavily formatted chunks of text, use AutoText. AutoText is
saved in templates. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm
and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm
