autotext Philip Ross-Smith 6/18/2007 9:37:02 AM How do you create a new autoext to Normal.dotx which can be recovered by the key letters and F3 shortcut? Why does Outlook not recognise F3 to recover an autext word or phrase

Re: autotext CyberTaz <onlygeneraltaz1[ at ]com.cast.net> 6/18/2007 10:33:43 AM Although AutoText is still available in Word 2007 it has been supplanted by Quick Parts>Building Blocks. You might check them out in Word Help first. If you still decide on a specific need for an AT item I believe you'll need to add the AT button control to the Quick Access Toolbar... At least that will make it much easier to work with. Afraid I can't address the Outlook issue.

Re: autotext "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 6/18/2007 3:48:15 PM When using Outlook 2007, you may believe you are using Word as the email editor, but you are not. You are using a much simplified version of Word running from its own self-contained dll file. SO it has only a little of Word's functionality and any changed made tot he settings in Word won't be reflected in Outlook. You need to set it up separately. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Philip Ross-Smith" <Philip Ross-Smith[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D99B9B20-7468-4567-9AA9-943AA4189826[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: autotext "Herb Tyson [MVP]" <herb[ at ]1x2y3z.xnw> 6/18/2007 10:26:13 PM ....the upshot of which means that you'll need to create Quick Parts in Outlook (in the Insert tab when composing a message, type the text you want to use, select it, then click Quick Parts -> Save Selection...). Quick Parts created in Outlook will respond to F3 in Outlook. But, they're wholly apart from what happens in Word. Can you spell i n t e g r a t i o n ? Apparently, SOMEBODY can't. :-( AutoCorrect, on the other hand, is intergrated, and AutoCorrect entries you create in Word are usable in Outlook, and vice versa. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> wrote in message news:7C43F9BC-77D0-40F6-88C6-7DC2C377AE76[ at ]microsoft.com...
