Hi,
I am looking for a simple way to automate an extremely frequent task.
I write many reports and letters everyday in my job and constantly have to
change the font and add a symbol to a couple of words. (these are trade
names and need to be in a different font to that that I normally use)

I did (sort of) manage to "paste" the correct version into my dictionary so
that it found the "normally typed" word and changed it automatically to the
new version which included the registered trade mark "R" in a circle symbol.
Problem. The font of the word doesn't change, and, more annoyingly, the "R"
needs to be superscripted and isn't.

Is there any easier way to achieve this. I am basically trying to get the
word "HighDek?" to appear in Verdana with the "R" symbol in superscript. I
just pasted it in from word above - but it also loses its format.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Regards,
Paul

When you have inserted the name and symbol as they should be, select them
and assign as an AutoText entry (Alt+F3).
