F3 shortcut key does not trigger autotext
F3 doesn't trigger autotext for me in Word 2007. I've made sure to spell the
autotext entry correctly. The F3 key is working correctly. But nothing happens when I press the key. Any suggestions?

F3 shortcut key does not trigger autotext
Is the AutoText entry name unique? Or have you typed enough of it to
distinguish it from other entries with similar names? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Lee" wrote in message ...

F3 shortcut key does not trigger autotext
My entry name is unique. I typed all of the entry name, then press F3;
nothing happens. Don't know if it's related, but I also discovered that the shortcut for cycling through CAP options (Shift/F3) isn't working either. "Suzanne S.

F3 shortcut key does not trigger autotext
Mystery solved. The problem was that when I recently reformatted my hard
drive, I did not reinstall the driver for my Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard. I've just done that and now the F3 key and autotext entries are fully functional. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Go to the keyboard shortcut dialog (in Word 2003 and earlier, it's Tools Customize Keyboard; in Word 2007, Office button Customize Keyboard) and check that the assignments are still there. Select the All Commands category and then select InsertAutoText - F3 ChangeCase - Shift+F3 Spike - Ctrl+F3 InsertSpike - Ctrl+Shift+F3 If the shortcuts are defined but don't work, try borrowing some else's keyboard -- maybe the F3 key on yours is broken. If the shortcuts aren't defined, put the cursor in the "Press new shortcut" box, type the shortcut, and click the Assign button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
