Automating Tasks | Use AutoComplete

When the AutoComplete feature is turned on, Microsoft Word will display a ScreenTip when you type the first few characters of an AutoText entry. When the ScreenTip appears, you can insert the entry or continue typing. AutoText is a storage location for text or graphics you want to use again such as a standard contract clause or a long distribution list. Each selection of text or graphics is recorded as an AutoText entry and is assigned a unique name.
