Default
scroll is a built-in autotext entry that adds the page number to the footer in a scroll (which you can select and delete). However if you have created an autotext entry and saved it as scr, then typing scr+F3 should insert the scr autotext entry. Otherwise scr+F3 will insert Scroll. The fact that it doesn't suggests that you haven't actually created such an entry (check using the building blocks organizer).

In any case I would suggest using an autocorrect entry rather than an autotext entry for this. Use #scr as a trigger.
