Saving a specific word or phrase, bring it up next time I type it
In Word 2003, I was able to save a specific word or phrase by running my
cursor over it and selecting the "auto correct" option. I was then able to type just the first couple of letters of that word or phrase and that word or phrase would pop-up, then all I had to do was hit the enter key to insert it in that sentence. Now that I have Word 2007 installed, I am not able to perform this function. I need to be able to type fast in my line of work; therefore, these saved words and phrases are a real time-saver. Can anyone help me! |

The function is still present, from Word Options Proofing Autocorrect
options, but you will find it far more convenient to add the Autocorrect command to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Bergisback" wrote in message ...

You are confusing AutoCorrect and AutoText. AutoCorrect entries are still
available in Word 2007 (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...toCorrect.htm). AutoText is still available, but AutoComplete is not. You can still type the first few letters and press F3 to insert the entry. -- Suzanne S.
