How to use autotext/quick parts to change a string of characters to a certain word (Word 2016)

Hi,
I'm using Word 2016 and I want to change things like ofc to of course by pressing F3, but when I try to add this, there's no option to add a text trigger - I can only add "of course" and then get it when I type part of that string. So how would I add custom text like "ofc" so that I can get "of course" by pressing F3?
Thanks.
