I have Word 2003. I am using autocomplete but I am having a problem with the
font. When I start typing a word that I want to autocomplete in my Outlook
program, the autocompleted text is not the correct font. I want the
autocompleted text to be in the font of the destination paragraph. Instead,
I get a smaller or larger font or Arial instead of Times New Roman or vice
versa.

How can I fix?

Autotext entries include the paragraph styles of the source text if you
include the paragraph mark when you create them (formatting is stored in the
paragraph break). The answer is to display formatting marks - click ¶ or
CTRL+* then select all but the paragraph mark of your source text when
creating entries.

That worked! I had a bit of a problem not selecting the paragraph mark after
the TM symbol as in RaincoatTM. So in MS Word I typed Raincoat and added
TMM as a superscript, hit the paragraph mark, then selected everything to the
left of the las M and went to tools autocorrect etc.

Thanks!
