There is also now the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT), which may serve well for some longer Autotext entries, which can also be graphics, text boxes, and other things Autocorrect can't do. The nice thing about the QAT is using it's keyboard shortcuts. Alt+ the left-to-right number 1-9 (there are more possibilities you can look up) of the icons on the QAT triggers the function. So, for instance, if you place Autotext as the second item on your bar, Alt+2 opens your list of Autotext entries and another keystroke of two (first letter of entry name) and bingo!
