If you used Autotext in MS Word 2003 or earlier, it’s one of the first questions you’ll have:
“Does Word still have Autotext?”
The answer? YES.
What’s the next question?
“WHERE is it? I can’t find it anywhere!”
I know.
Autotext has been renamed. reorganized. buried. Some refer to it as QuickParts. or Building Blocks. or both. But forget names. Let’s cut to the chase:
Alt+F3 and F3.
“Keystrokes?” the die hard mouse people whine ask?
(To you mouse people, go ahead, use the mouse. Click the “Insert” Ribbon, then click the Quick Parts dropdown, then . . . who am I kidding? I’m not typing up mouse instructions for this. sorry)
For you long time Autotext users, the good news is that Microsoft left in the legacy keystrokes for this feature.
Quick and Easy.
