In some of my templates, the autotext toolbar pulldown menu is
titled, "All Entries" in the Autotext Toolbar. In other templates,
it's titled, "Body Text". How does one control the labels that
appear for the autotext toolbar pull down menu?
AutoText is categorized by the name of the paragraph style that was applied
to the selected text at the time the entry was created. For example, if you
select some text in a paragraph of Body Text style and press Alt+F3, the
resulting AutoText entry will be in the Body Text submenu of the Insert >
AutoText menu. If the selected text had Header style applied to it, that
would produce an entry in the Header submenu, and so on.
If any entries exist in the category that matches the style of the current
cursor location, then the AutoText toolbar menu shows only that submenu. So
when the cursor is in Body Text, the toolbar menu says "Body Text" and
displays only that group of entries. If the cursor is moved to the header
pane, the toolbar says "Header" and shows those entries.
If there are no entries for the current style, or when the cursor is in
Normal style text, then the toolbar shows "All Entries".
Of course, all this is different in Word 2007, which doesn't have an
AutoText toolbar (although you can add an AutoText button to the Quick
Access Toolbar).
