AutoText Entry not working.
I have MS Word 2003.
I want to create an autotext entry for (U) with the name unclassified. When the user starts typing the word unclassified I want it to return with (U) So when the user starts typing unclas... I should get a autocomplete tip that appears and when I press enter I will get (U) I've tried to make an auto text entry for this but it is not working. I highlighted (U) and pressed ALT F3. When asked to type the name of my AutoText entry I typed unclassified. When I start typing unclas... nothing happens I don't get the autocompete tip. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. |

You might find this works better as an AutoCorrect entry (but use a shortcut
that isn't a word). -- Suzanne S.
