Autotext

[Guest]

I used a template on Word 2003 where I inserted an autotext paragraph by
entering a code in the body of the template for example, IN1750 and pressing
enter would insert a paragraph of text. In the new Word 2007 when I enter
the code and press enter it just leaves the code in there! I have to select
the building blocks menu, enter the code and press insert to get that
paragraph inserted into my document. How do I fix this to get it back to the
way it should work?

If your paragraph is 256 characters or less, you can add it to autocorrect
and have it work like it used to in autotext.
Select - Office button, word options, proofing, autocorrect options and
enter IN1750 as the replace text and your paragraph as the with... If you
have your paragraph selected before you open autocorrect options, it will
already be listed in the With: box for you.

If you press F3 instead of Enter, you will get the results you want.
