How do I get "Auto Text" to work within Outlook email?

[Guest]

Microsoft WORD has a function called "Auto Text" which allows you to enter
text salutations and other repetitive type text, so that you don't have to
keep typing it in every time.

How do I get this same functionality to work in my Outlook Email? I'm using
Microsoft WORD as my email editor...I expected that it would automatically be
present.

If Word is your editor, then AutoText should automatically present and available just as it is in a Word document. Did you try it? What happened?

Try this:

Open outlook and compose a new message.
From the 'Tools' menu select 'AutoCorrect Options'
From the 'AutoCorrect in E-mail' dialogue box select the 'Auto-Text' tab
Fill the Auto Text you want and you should be away.

It works for me - let me know how you get on
