CAN I USE AUTOTEXT TO PRINT A PARAGRAPH OF TEXT?

[Guest]

I'm trying to utilize AutoText to print out about 10 lines of information by
utilizing a single AutoText code. Is there a way to put in an AutoText item
and have several lines with carridge returns between each line print?

You can have as many lines of text as you want, paragraphs, tables and other
elements if you need them. Put what you want in the document, select it then
ALT+F3 - give it a suitable name and save it. You can do pretty much the
same with formatted autocorrect entries also.

AutoText entries can contain pretty much as much text (not to mention
graphics, tables, fields, etc.) as you like. The AutoText entry *name* is
limited to a small number of characters, but the entry itself can be many
pages long. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm

Thanks so much for your prompt response. The link you sent is great and it
looks like I'll find other valuable tidbits of information there as well.
Thanks again!

Thanks for your help on this. I guess I was making it harder than it had to
be. I kept trying to enter an AutoText entry with a long line of text without
realizing that I can create the text in a document, then highlight it and
utilize ALT+F3. Thanks for clearing the fog!
