Inserting Text with AutoText

AutoText is the way to store and retrieve "boilerplate" text, graphics, etc. To create an AutoText item, first highlight the item, then choose Tools, AutoCorrect, AutoText. A suggested name will be given (names can be up to 32 characters and spaces), or you can give your own name. Click the Add button.

For example, when referring to our university, we typically have to describe where we are in relation to Dallas. So an Autotext item could be the following paragraph:

The University of North Texas is located 35 miles north of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex on I-35. Select this paragraph, and then select Tools,

AutoCorrect, AUTOTEXT. Keep the default name and select ADD.
