AutoText for Network Use

[Riverboat]

Hi I am trying to add Text for standard paragraphs. Approximately 20 of my
colleagues need to be able to access them to insert into documents so that
they don't have to keep typing the information - Firstly is this possible,
secondly would an AutoText entry work or do I need to use Macros?

Many thanks.

AutoText is what you're looking for; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm. Entries are stored in
templates, and you can distribute the template; see

Thanks Suzanne - how do I then get them on all machines do I have to actually
physically take a copy (not sure how to do this anyway) and onto each machine.

The article at http://word.mvps.org:80/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DistributeMacros.htm
provides some suggestions. You could email the template to users with
instructions on how to add it to their Startup folder.
