MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / March 2008Auto Text Insert Feature
Can someone please advise me how to work the auto insert text feature in Word 2007? I don't understand how to enable it to work at all. AutoComplete no longer works for AutoText entries in Word 2007, if that's what you are asking. Instead, type the name of the AutoText and then press F3 to insert it. Alternatively, if you have been using AutoText to primarily insert text (instead of more complex objects), you can make use of AutoCorrect instead.

In Word 2000 I use auto insert to insert complete sentenances that I have under normal text, are you saying we can no longer do that with the 2007 version? > AutoComplete no longer works for AutoText entries in Word 2007, if that's > what you are asking.

No. What he is saying is that autocomplete is no longer available. You can type the unique part of your autotext entry and press F3 to insert it, or pick the entry from a menu, or you can use autocorrect instead. Autocorrect can insert anything that can be inserted by autotext, but works in a different way - requiring a trigger key combination.

I'M INTO DETAILS AND SOMETIMES LIKE TO FIND A BACK DOOR INTO GETTING SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY WORK! SO THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPONDED! God bless you. > In Word 2000 I use auto insert to insert complete sentenances that I have > under normal text, are you saying we can no longer do that with the 2007 [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > Word > > > 2007? I don't understand how to enable it to work at all. I miss it, really. If I select and copy a long sentence or two and add it as autotext, then it will start typing it in at the first word. But the shortcut phrases? I can't get those to work, myself. Thank you so much for your response about the auto insert. But I didn't think it would take more than five or so characters in the find and replace on the autocorrect. I have been able to perform two-sentence structures that way, however. Thanks for your help! You can store many pages including graphics etc in autocorrect? It only needs two or more characters to trigger the entry?

Thanks for your help there. You are appreciated. > AutoComplete no longer works for AutoText entries in Word 2007, if that's > what you are asking.

It's basically much more complicated than the autotext replace was in 2003. You have to highlight the info you want to be inserted each time, and go to QUICK PARTS, and add it there. I know someone else will come back and give you better directions. Because the rules don't seem to apply for everything, I'm having trouble myself, learning what works and what doesn't. GOOD LUCK! Select the text and press ALT+F3 to store the entry, just as in earlier versions. Type the first few unique characters of the autotext name and press F3 to insert it in the document.
