How do I automatically replace text with predefined content?
I converted from Office 2003 to Office 2007 recently and my predefined texts
have all gone. It's been so long that I can't remember what the process was called and where to look for it - I'm trying to find the name for the process which, when you type in a word, it automatically replaces it with a text that you have pre-defined. Say, you write the name of your company and OUtlook replaces it with the whole address. How do you pre-define that??? Where do you look? |

How do I automatically replace text with predefined content?
Kay,
You are talking about AutoCorrection options? In Word 2007, Office-button, Options for Word, on your left choose the control category (third from the top, click the AutoCorrect-options button at the top. You should be in the first tab, where you can find existing entries and add your own. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint "Kay" schreef in bericht ...

How do I automatically replace text with predefined content?
You are probably describing AutoText. It's still there (as part of the
Building Blocks collection), but AutoComplete is no longer available (except for dates). You can still type the first few letters of the AutoText entry name and press F3. Or you can define AutoCorrect entries instead. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Kay" wrote in message ...

Hi Suzanne,
yes, I meant AutoComplete, shame it's no longer there, it was very handy in Outlook. Thanks for your tip on the building blocks, I'll try and work with that. At the moment F3 gets me another entry and not the one that I've saved. Kay "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You are probably describing AutoText.
