How to print auto text entries I created?

M

I have created a lot of auto text entries and auto correct entries. A friend
would like me to print a list of these to assist them in creating their own.
Is there a way to print the auto text entries I currently have created in
Word on my PC?

You could just give him a copy of your autocorrect entries so he can import
them. For more info see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826147/en-us . The
instructions for Word 2007 / 2010 are pretty much the same.

Or you could run a simple macro which prints them to an empty document, save
that and print it out for him. Something like:

============================
Sub PrintAutoCorrect()

Dim doc As Document
Dim i As Integer
Dim ace As AutoCorrectEntry

Set doc = Application.Documents.Add
doc.Activate

For i = 1 To Application.AutoCorrect.Entries.Count
Set ace = Application.AutoCorrect.Entries.Item(i)

Selection.InsertAfter "In: " & ace.Name & vbCrLf & _
"Out: " & ace.Value & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Next

End Sub
============================

For autotext entries - from the Print dialog > Print What > Autotext entries
(or in the case of Word 2007 - Building Block entries).
Note that autotext entries are stopred in templates. You can distribute the
entries by either distributing the containing template(s) as add-ins or by
useing the oprganizer to copy them between templates.
For autocorrect
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm will give you
a tahble of the entries.
