Thanks for the tip Chad, however some of the language is
too long to fit into Autotext. I was wondering if there
may be some time of interactive macro I could generate
that would pull information based on criteria given by the
end user.

The length of the AutoText name is a maximum of 32 characters, but I am not
aware of a limit on the length of the entry itself. Am I mistaken?

Regards,
Chad

I think the length of AutoText entries is limited only by available memory
and HD space. And AutoText entries can include not only huge chunks of text
but also tables, graphics, fields, etc.

I happened to have a 1000+ page document open when I read that. No problem
about putting the entire contents into an AutoText entry and inserting into
another document. Repagination aside, it wasn't even noticably slower than
my usual one-liners.
