Insert an AutoText entry

AutoText entries are divided into categories such as Closing or Salutation. Check the Normal category for entries you've created unless you know they are stored under another category.

You can also use a shortcut to insert an AutoText entry. First, turn on AutoComplete (point to AutoText on the Insert menu, click AutoText, and then select the Show AutoComplete suggestions check box). In your document, type the first few characters in the AutoText entry's name. When Microsoft Word suggests the complete AutoText entry, press ENTER or F3 to accept the entry.
If the AutoText entry contains a graphic without text, press F3 to accept the entry.

To reject the AutoText entry, keep typing.
The entries in the lists on the AutoText menu and the AutoText toolbar correspond to the language of the text that your insertion point is positioned in. For example, if you are typing French in the English version of Word, the AutoText entries that appear on the menu and on the toolbar list will be in French, but the ones on the AutoText tab in the AutoCorrect dialog box will be in English.
To insert AutoText entries in the language you're typing in, use the AutoText menu (point to AutoText on the Insert menu) or click All Entries on the AutoText toolbar. To insert AutoText entries in the language version of Word that you are using, use the AutoText tab in the AutoCorrect dialog box (point to AutoText on the Insert menu, and then click AutoText).

Also note that if you insert an AutoText field by using the Field Options dialog box (Insert menu, Field command), the Field Options dialog box, like the AutoText tab, reflects the language version of Word that you are using, not the language you are typing in.
