Quick Words
A 20+ year WP user trying to convert to MSW.
WP had a feature whereby you could assign a pre-designed set of words (like an oft-used address) to a cobination of letters and then press the enter key and such (the address or whatever) would be inserted at the cursor's position in the document. Does MSW 2007 have such like feature? If so could someone take me step by step thru. With appreciation Jerry |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm. The difference is that AutoCorrect is automatic; AutoText (called QuickParts in Word 2007) requires action on your part. In previous versions this was just accepting the AutoComplete tip by pressing Enter or Tab; in Word 2007, there is no AutoComplete, so you have to press F3 after typing the first few letters of the entry name. -- Suzanne S.

Quick Words
Thank you Suzanne. It works as you described. However, I seemed to have
unwittingly invoked something in the process that I don't quite understand. I now get double spacing after running this procedure. Could I have accidently trigered something to invoke double spacing on this and every other new document that I create? Hey, what do I know? That's why I am here in the newusers forum. When you begin to think you know quite a bit about wordprossesing, try switching to another application. This has not been easy! Either I did something in this process or earlier in the day. I did worked with other new documents earlier this afternoon and did not have this happen. What could I have done to trigger this? Any help will be appreciated Jerry "Suzanne S.

OK
I think I found what I did. Apparently, accidently hit spacing under page layout. My apology for a false alarm Jerry "JERRY" JERRY@HOME wrote in message ... Thank you Suzanne.

Side note: These links might not have the answer to your specific question, but you will probably find them very useful as you switch from WordPerfect to Word. In particular, they don't address the menu changes with Word 2007, but the difference in underlying principles remains the same.
