automatically inserts words- like company name -
Not auto text, not auto correct...but, I want to insert words on to a list
and when I start typing my company name - Eq - that EquaGen appears. Or Miss - and Mississippi. or Je and Jepson appears. In the autocorrect, you have to put the incorrect spelling and then the correct spelling...which isn't what I want to do. In older versions, you could insert words on to an auto correct list and they would automatically populate with just a few key strokes of initial letters. Thanks for any help. Margie |

You're wrong about AutoCorrect.
I assume you're talking here about Word 2007. Go to Office button Word Options Proofing and click the AutoCorrect Options button to get the same dialog you saw in previous versions. You can create any entries there that you want. -- 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.

Margie,
I think what you are refering to is "AutoText." In the pre-Word2007 Word world there was a feature called "Show AutoComplete Suggestions" that would monitor the text you typed and if it matched an existing AutoText entry in your template you would get a screen tip allowing your to complete the entry by pressing "Enter." Unfortunately that feature is not available in Word2007. AutoText is still available in Word2007, it has just been incorporated as one gallery in a collection of 35 similiar galleries collectively called building blocks. That said, you can still create your collection building blocks in the AutoText gallery (or any gallery) and when you type Eq (and provided "Eq" is unique) then press F3 and EquaGen will appear. I have put together a few tools to enhance working with building blocks he http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Word2007_B...&_AutoText.htm On Dec 4, 11:50*am, Margie wrote: Not auto text, not auto correct...but, I want to insert words on to a list and when I start typing my company name - Eq *- that EquaGen appears.

That's really unfortunate. I depended on that feature a lot at work. And
although I read what you said and that link, I still can't find a way to have the text be inserted. "Greg Maxey" wrote: Margie, I think what you are refering to is "AutoText."

A. Ramos,
Let's walk through this and see if you can get it to work. You've read my tips page on building blocks and AutoText in Word2007 so you know that instead of just one collection of pre-defined chunks of text or other content called AutoText you can now have 35 such collections. We will still work with the one called AutoText Open a new Word document. Type in EquaGen Select it and press Alt+F3. In the create new building block dialog that appears, change the gallery to AutoText and the Save in to Normal. Click OK Now move the cursor and type Eq, then press F3. Does EquaGen not get inserted?
