Auto Correct or Edit Replace
I am a frustrated new user of Outlook 2007. In my Outlook 2003, I was able to
set up either Auto Correct or Replace, so that when I typed a certain word, Outlook would insert what I wanted to have replace that word. In 2003, the replacement text was about 6 lines long, which included my name, address, etc., etc, and the feature worked very well. In Outlook 2007, I can find my way to Auto Correct and also Replace, but I am unable to use more than one line of Auto Correct or Replacement text. When I type out the first line of text and hit enter, in an attempt to go to the next line (to enter more text), my original line is registered as the new Auto Correct or Replace text. I realize there is a signature feature, but I do not always want that information appearing on all of my e-mails, only when I type the one word that I then want to be expanded into multiple lines of text. Any help you can provide in assisting me with accomplishing the same feat in 2007 as I was able to achieve in 2003 would be appreciated. I have discovered that I also am having the very same issue in Word 2007, but in 2003, again it worked just fine. Thanks for your HELP!!! |

When You can use the Signature features in Outlook to include your details and they don't have to be in every email. You can select the emails and enter the details manually on the messages you want them to appear. I suggest type Signature in the Help window and the full instructions will pop out for you to create the signature and to select whether it is manual or automatic etc. The help file is quite comprehensive in this respect. hth |
