AutoText Image Troubles

[Guest]

I've formatted an image and assigned an autotext entry. I can insert
the autotext through the AutoText toolbar. I cannot get the entry to
work, however. The entry is "sigAH". When I type "sigAH" in a new
document, the image-autotext does not appear. What to do?

AutoText always has to be deliberately triggered by you. From this page:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm

"You can also insert an AutoText entry by typing its name in the document,
then pressing F3 (on a Macintosh, Command-Option-v). If the AutoComplete
feature is activated (by a check box in the AutoText dialog), then you'll
see a screen tip above the insertion point when you type enough letters of
the entry¹s name so that Word can recognize it; pressing Tab or Enter will
insert the entry."

Did you either press F3 or accept an AutoComplete tip?
