Apologies if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember someone saying Auto-Text is
*Style*-specific? E.g., if you were typing in Normal, it would only offer up
Normal style entries, not Body Text style entries?

Here's some possibly related info from Help, as usual not under a
self-evident title:

"Insert an AutoText entry
1. Click in the document where you want to insert the AutoText entry.
2. On the Insert menu, point to AutoText.
  To see a list of all the available AutoText entries, hold down SHIFT as
you point to AutoText.
3. If the submenu contains a list of paragraph styles, such as Normal or
Salutation, point to the style that's linked to your AutoText entry.
4. Click the name of the AutoText entry you want.
Tips

AutoComplete. In your document, type the first few characters in the
AutoText entry's name. When Microsoft Word suggests the complete AutoText
entry, press RETURN to accept the entry. To reject the AutoText entry, keep
typing.

correspond to the language of the text that your insertion point is
positioned in. For example, if you are typing French in the English version
of Word, the AutoText entries that appear on the submenu and on the toolbar
list will be in French, but the ones on the AutoText tab will be in English.
To insert AutoText entries in the language you're typing in, use the
AutoText submenu or the AutoText toolbar. To insert AutoText entries in the
language version of Word that you are using, use the AutoText tab.
  Also note that if you insert an AutoText field by using the Field Options
dialog box (Insert menu, Field command, Options button), the Field Options
dialog box, like the AutoText tab, reflects the language version of Word
that you are using, not the language you are typing in. "

Hi!
A detailed response. ^^

It is interesting to point out your version of help is
different from mine. What version of Word you are using.

Mine:
Word XP - Help
Title: Insert an AutoText entry

AutoText entries are divided into categories such as
Closing or Salutation. Check the Normal category for
entries you've created unless you know they are stored
under another category.

Click in the document where you want to insert the
AutoText entry.
On the Insert menu, point to AutoText, and then point to
the type of entry you want to insert.
Click the name of the AutoText entry you want.
Tips

You can also use a shortcut to insert an AutoText entry.
First, turn on AutoComplete (Insert menu, AutoText
command). In your document, type the first few characters
in the AutoText entry's name. When Microsoft Word
suggests the complete AutoText entry, press ENTER or F3
to accept the entry.
If the AutoText entry contains a graphic without text,
press F3 to accept the entry.

To reject the AutoText entry, keep typing.

The entries in the lists on the AutoText menu and the
AutoText toolbar correspond to the language of the text
that your insertion point is positioned in. For example,
if you are typing French in the English version of Word,
the AutoText entries that appear on the menu and on the
toolbar list will be in French, but the ones in the
AutoText dialog box will be in English.
To insert AutoText entries in the language you're typing
in, use the AutoText menu (click AutoText on the Insert
menu) or the AutoText toolbar. To insert AutoText entries
in the language version of Word that you are using, use
the AutoText tab in the AutoCorrect dialog box (click
AutoText on the Insert menu, and then click AutoText).

Also note that if you insert an AutoText field by using
the Field Options dialog box (Insert menu, Field
command), the Field Options dialog box, like the AutoText
tab, reflects the language version of Word that you are
using, not the language you are typing in.

Hello, Dayo.

I replied your message by clicking on the "reply" button
on this email. Am I on the right track now?

Actually I do feel Office Help is stinking. I prefer
previous versions of Office help.

I find it hard to find a suitable piece of information
when I get some problems about Office programs.

We are now digressing from the topic.
Maybe it is better open another topic elsewhere so as to
fit what we are talking about.

I am going to post a new message in Office / General
Questions.
Its topic is:
- ## Office Help become stinks!! ##
