This article describes the use of the AutoCorrect function of Microsoft Office 2000. Usually this feature performs fixes of common typing and spelling errors, but it often inserts words or replaces ones you do not want changed. On the other hand, you can use this feature to automate text insertion in Word. Start by highlighting a phrase, sentence, paragraph or whole document that you regularly need to enter in other Word files. Click Tools, AutoCorrect Options. In the bottom half of the AutoCorrect tab, you will see all or a portion of what you highlighted. Enter the keystrokes you will use to trigger the auto-insertion of the highlighted passage. Select Plain text or Formatted text above the passage, to reflect how you want the end result to look. Click Add, and AutoCorrect will place your trigger letters alphabetically among your listed existing shortcut entries. Finish by clicking OK or Close. To enter the text in a Word document, type the trigger letters and activate the text insertion by pressing either the space of Enter, or by typing a punctuation mark. If you are prompted when exiting Word to accept the changes made to the global template, normal.dot, click Yes or the AutoCorrect shortcuts you created during that session will be lost.
