I have set up AutoCorrect to insert several graphics by first inserting the
graphic in a Word document, selecting it, and then going to Autocorret and
typing an abbreviation for it in the Replace section, the graphic is in the
With section of the Autocorrect screen.
Question, can this be set up without first inserting it in a Word document.
I see no way of doing this, but certainly may have missed something.

Many thanks
Dudley

I've never actually tried it, but theoretically you should be able to

1. Use the macro tool supplied by Microsoft (in support.dot, I believe) to back
up the AutoCorrect entries.

2. This creates a table in a Word document. There you can see how your other
graphics entries are stored in the table.

3. Add rows to the table for the new entries you want to create. Do them
exactly as Word has done for those already in the AutoCorrect list.

4. Use the tool from the same template to Restore the AutoCorrect entries from
this Word document. That should add in the ones you created.
