Need Help Inserting Text Word 2003
At my work, we have different products for which we have "boiler plate" text
that we paste in to all documents, but this is obviously wasting a lot of time by copying and pasting. I have seen something in the past done, but I don't know what exactly its called where I can simply type in the name of a product and word will automatically paste the boiler plate text and picture into my document. For instance if I type "fsp" and hit enter, the boiler plate text about freestanding platforms will be inserted into my document where typed fsp. Anyone know what this function is called? Is this a macro? I'm willing to do the research and work into it, but I don't even know where to start. anything will be helpful, thanks |

The function is called autocorrect - type or paste the boilerplate text into
a document, select it, then tools autocorrect options autocorrect. Give it a name eg fsp and if necessary check the formatted check box.. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org mch1025 wrote: At my work, we have different products for which we have "boiler plate" text that we paste in to all documents, but this is obviously wasting a lot of time by copying and pasting.

What you are describing is AutoComplete with AutoText entries. See

Need Help Inserting Text Word 2003
Well, you got two answers, and both are correct and luckily equally
convenient in Word 2003 (in Word 2007, there is no AutoComplete for AutoText). In addition to the link Stefan gave you for AutoText, see this one for AutoCorrect: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm -- Suzanne S.
