Microsoft Word 2007 - Enter repeated lines of text
When typing my reports I need to constantly repeat lines of text such as:
"Area video was obtained; however, no change in subject activity" and "investigator departed the area, mobile surveillance was continued"...... I can't copy and paste since there will be more than one line of text that I'll need. When I come to the point in my report where I need to enter one of the lines shown above, is there a Ctrl+ option that I can set up to where, say for example a Ctrl+X would enter one line of text, then a Ctrl+Y will enter a different line of text? They are never in the same spot in the report, as each report consists of different clients and acitvities. My report writing time would be cut in half if I had a way to easily enter these repeated lines of text. Thank you so much for your help! K Davis |

Microsoft Word 2007 - Enter repeated lines of text
Each item that may be repeated should be assigned to either a Quick
Part or an AutoCorrect entry. To assign a Quick Part, select the text and press Alt+F3. In the small dialog that appears, assign a name and (optionally) a gallery and category. You can also say which template you want it stored in. To pull a copy of it into the text, type the name (or at least enough of it to uniquely identify it) and press F3. The number of Quick Parts you can create is effectively unlimited. To assign an AutoCorrect entry, select the text and go to Office button Word Options Proofing AutoCorrect Options. The text will appear in the box at right center of the dialog. (If you want it to be formatted as it is in the selected text, click the Formatted Text option; otherwise it will be plain text formatted like the destination.) To its left, enter a unique name or abbreviation and click the Add button. To pull a copy of it into the text, type the name followed by a space or any punctuation, and it will instantly be replaced by the full entry. -- 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.

I can't thank you enough! I used the AutoCorrect option and it worked
perfectly. Your prompt reply is greatly appreciated, as is your expertise. The directions were simple to follow and the result was the answer I was looking for. Thank you Jay, I know just who to ask next time I need solutions! "Jay Freedman" wrote: Each item that may be repeated should be assigned to either a Quick Part or an AutoCorrect entry.
