Default masterlist

Hi microsoft Gods,
I am trying to figure out how I can type a masterlist of statements
that have been bulleted. Then I want to create a custom list by just typing
in the bullet number and viola' the statement is inserted into my custom
list.

I am using Word. Do I need to buy another program?

Default masterlist

There are a number of ways that you could do this - all using features
available in Word.

One would be to create and autotext entry for each item in your master list.

Another would be to load your masterlist into a list box on a userform. You
would then select the item that you wanted from the listbox and click on a
button on the form to insert it at the location you wanted it in the
document.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:
