Editing AutoText

I've messed up with 100+ AutoText entries. What I'm doing is creating
AutoText for medications that has both the product name plus the generic
name in parentheses. They are reversible, so if the generic name is
typed the same AutoText entry appears that would appear if the product
name were typed.
Example: Tylenol (acetaminophen).
The user can start typing Tylenol or acetaminophen and the same
configuration prints.

What I did was add a space after the closing parenthesis and when the
dose is typed TWO spaces are added after the closing parenthesis.

I've wandered around in AutoText hoping I could edit out the space I put
in but there's not far to wander. Does anyone know how to delete that
final space without starting over? Quite a few users are using the 4
templates with the AutoText.

You cannot edit the Autotext entry as such.  If you need
to change it insert the entry into a doument and edit
it.  Then highlight it and se=ave it as an Autotext entry
with the same original name.  It will ask you if you want
to replace the original, say yes.  

Hope this helps
