autotext
I have the new Office Word at work, I use to be able to add in contact details ect to auto texts to save me rewriting the details. When I typed someones surname it automatically came up with the contact details ect, I just pressed enter and it was done. However now when I write the details they do not come up automatically I have to go through the whole list and find the contact. Can anyone help? many thanks |

This is because the AutoComplete feature has been removed from Word
2007. But note that you can still press F3 to insert the AutoText entry, after you've typed its name. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Lucas" wrote in message ...

Can anyone help? many thanks The AutoText is still there, but the automatic completion doesn't work any more. Instead of getting a popup and pressing Enter, you have to press F3 after typing at least the unique first part of the name. Microsoft has heard the howls of disappointed users, but there are no hints yet of whether or when the AutoComplete will be restored. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
