Macros

[D.Taylor]

I have been unable to figure out how to set up macros in
Word. In word perfect, I am able to put shortcuts in so
that I only have to type a couple of letters and it will
automatically insert a whole name, phrase or word that I
have customized and programed in the macro section. How
can I do this in Word? I can not follow the help section.

Check out Tools>AutoCorrect - AutoCorrect and AutoText. These allow you to
format an "abbreviation" for often-used words, phrases, etc. without using a
VBA macro.

If this is not what you need, and you do desire an actual VBA macro with a
keyboard shortcut, then use Tools>Macro>Record New Macro. But I'd read the
Help on macros first if I were you. Press F1, select the Index tab, type
"create macro" in the Type Keywords window, and click on Search. Find and
double-click "Create a macro" in the Choose a Topic window below.
