Autotext

[Alberto]

Hi,
I have a question about Autotext.
In Winword, you have a keyboard shortcut to insert an Autotext (i.e. F3): for
example if I type "m" and I press F3, the "m" expand to "Microsoft" as I have
first registred.
What is it the keyboard shortcut for Autotext in Word for Mac X?
Thanks
Alberto

Hello Alberto,

Command-Option-v.

For anyone watching who is unfamiliar with this: Type the abbreviated term
(or rather, as much of the abbreviated term that is needed to make the entry
unique -- if you only had one entry starting with ³m², for example, you
would only have to type this one letter). Then key Command-Option-v. There
is no need to select the abbreviated term.

It's whatever you want it to be. Choose Customize Keyboard, select Edit
in the first column, InsertAutoText in the second column, make the
shortcut key the way you like it.

All keyboard shortcuts in Word are user-configurable. m.
