Hello from Steved

Basically a question about autotext

Ok "The brown cow did jump the brown fox"

I saved it as autotext and called it "cow"

Alright now I type in cow and push F3 I get "The brown cow did jump the
brown fox"

Is their away if I open a document and the word "cow" is on the first
paragraph,
is it possible for it to be automated so that on the end off the second
paragraph
"The brown cow did jump the brown fox" is their so I do not have to type
"cow" and push F3 each time.

Thankyou.

Hello Jean-Guy

Just simply I wanted to know if I can tell the autotext where to put it, in
my case on the second line at the end off the paragraph.

AutoText works in relation to the current cursor position.

You want to type the cue a one place and have AutoText insert the text in
another? No can do, unless you use some kind of macro to override the
default action, but it can get very complicated...

Still not sure I understand though! Sorry for not being more helpful. Maybe
someone whit a better understanding of you requirement will chime in soon!

Thanks Jean-Guy

This was my thinking but I thought just ask to confirm.

Cheers.
