How do I insert AutoText in Word 2007
I've just downloaded the Office 2007 beta and find that there seems not to be
any ability to insert AutoText in Word. It's probably called something else, but the online help doesn't help. Anyone come across where it's hiding? If so, I'd welcome your instructions. Tks in advance. |

How do I insert AutoText in Word 2007
AutoText per se has been somewhat deprecated, I gather (replaced by Quick
Parts, I believe). AutoComplete is completely gone for AutoText, but existing entries can still be inserted by typing the entry name and pressing F3. -- Suzanne S.

How do I insert AutoText in Word 2007
Seems like a lot of work to have it complete a word for ya! I used to love
the auto-complete function. I wonder if that's something that should become a suggesstion for the MS to have put back in there. Thanks, ---roystreet "Suzanne S.

How do I insert AutoText in Word 2007
You can still use AutoCorrect, just not AutoComplete for AutoText.

How do I insert AutoText in Word 2007
AutoText still exists but it is now a named gallery of Building Blocks along
with other built in galleries like like headers, footes, cover pages, tables, watermarks, text boxes, equations, page numbering. It is a god awful mash of stuff filling a so called Building Block Manager. It is like managing chaos. Theses building blocks consist of just about anything that you can define once and use over and over again. Create it, select it, and capture it with the same ALT+F3 keystroked and there is where you get to decide which cabbage patch to put it in. The worst category is "Quick Parts." When you put it there then anytime you go to insert one of the near countless things in building blocks a drop down covering nearly half of your screen jumps out screaming at you "I'm a quick part pick me, pick me." Even if you didn't want to see a "quick part" but hey wait a minute, "Quite Part" is the intuitive command name that the Office development team choose to label the command button for inserting any of the building blocks, plus fields, document properties, page numbers, etc. It is all clear as a bell. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. roystreet wrote: Seems like a lot of work to have it complete a word for ya!
