Auto Replace Text

[Guest]

Hi there

I am wondering if there is some way, utilizing MS Word that I can type in several short hand abbreviations and have MSWord automatically put in long hand versions. This is for health care use and would, for example be

LBP, NR, AO, LS and have word type Low back pain, no radiation, acute onset, left side

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

The easiest way would be to create AutoCorrect entries, under Tools |
AutoCorrect. You won't even need the caps. See here for more info:

One of Word's most useful features....
