MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / February 2006Bridge documents....Red Hearts and Diamonds, Balck Clubs and Spade
How do I write tutorials for Bridge so word can type, autocorrect or insert the proper character with its proper color? Red Hearts and Diamonds, Balck Clubs and Spades are typed many many types, how can this be automated? Do each one right once, and store it as an autotext entry.

Create what it is that you want to be inserted (I am not quite sure what it is), then select it and from the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect Options and then go to the AutoCorrect tab and in the "Replace text as you type" section of the dialog, check the "Formatted text" radio button and in the "Replace" control, type whatever it is that you want to be replaced with the formatted text. Then click on the Add button. The entry that you type should be unique as after doing this, whenever you type that entry and press the space bar, that typing will be replaced by the autocorrect item.

I had already tried your suggestion, the problem is that if I type "hhh" for a red heart or "ddd" for a red diamond the font color stays red and I have to select black in order to continue typing. Is there a way to automate ...Autocorrect.Entries....so it adds: Selection.TypeText Text:=" " Selection.Font.Color = wdColorAutomatic right after that? Thanks, Andrew (I need to do "hhh" red heart "ddd" red diamond "ccc" black club "sss" black spade) > Create what it is that you want to be inserted (I am not quite sure what it > is), then select it and from the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect Options and [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >> > Balck > >> > Clubs and Spades are typed many many types, how can this be automated? When you create the autotext entry, format the text in the colour that you want and have space after it that is formatted as automatic. Then select the text AND the space when you are creating the autotext entry. When the autotext is inserted, you will have two spaces after it, but all you have to do is hit the backspace key once to delete the second space and then keep on typing. SignatureHope this helps.

Better still save each of the card symbols in the size and colour you want as formatted autocorrect entries. Use suitable accelerators such as #h, #c, #s, and #d whenever you are typing just type #h and you'll get a red heart without any jiggery pokery to keep the following text black.

Example: ♠ pic ♥ heart ♣ club ♦ diamond (heart and diamond symbols in red) This sentence should be written: ppp pic hhh heart ccc club ddd diamond (only hhh & ddd = red, all the rest black) without having to select font color at anytime.... If I use autocorrect the word right after the symbol keeps the font color from the symbol!!!!

The manual formatting applied to the heart and diamond should not be carried to the following text. I cannot persuade it to do so.
