A keyboard shortcut.

If you save it in one of the Custom Building Blocks Galleries, your could add that gallery to your QAT.
Build & Deploy Custom Building Block Galleries by Greg Maxey
You can find how such a gallery in the QAT works by looking at
2003 WordArt Add-In for 2010-2021 (365).
Look also, instead of the AutoTextList, using a
Building Blocks Gallery Content Control.

When I use these to give a choice for one use, I set the BB Gallery CC to delete the CC when edited. That way, when a choice is made, the bb is inserted without the gallery content control remaining around it.
I recommend
against adding a legacy ActiveX Button. These do not work in the Mac interface and will give a macro warning. If you need it, though, here is
