Autotext Shortcut Using Word on Macbook
Trying to figure out how to quickly and efficiently insert autotext using Word on a 2008 macbook. When I'm in the office on a new PC, all I have to do is hit F3 and the autotext is inserted. On the macbook, Word doesn't seem to recognize the autotext, and if it does, I wouldn't know how to insert it using one shortcut key for all auto text entries like can be done on a PC. Definately don't want to create a shortcut key for each and every auto text entry. Thanks. |

Try Fn+F3.

Thanks for the reply. That didn't work. The problem seems to be that MS Word on a Mac doesn't pre-recognize auto text like it does on a PC. Not sure if it's fixable.

Per this page - Insert an AutoText entry: +Option+Shift+V
My recollection is that the (sometimes useless) tooltip does pop up and you can press Enter to accept. AutoText on the Mac. The key is to pay attention to what names you give your AutoText. (Hint: seldom use the name proposed.) Automated Boilerplate Using Microsoft Word |
