Need Help Inserting Text Word 2003

[mch1025]

At my work, we have different products for which we have "boiler plate" text
that we paste in to all documents, but this is obviously wasting a lot of
time by copying and pasting.

I have seen something in the past done, but I don't know what exactly its
called where I can simply type in the name of a product and word will
automatically paste the boiler plate text and picture into my document. For
instance if I type "fsp" and hit enter, the boiler plate text about
freestanding platforms will be inserted into my document where typed fsp.

Anyone know what this function is called? Is this a macro? I'm willing to
do the research and work into it, but I don't even know where to start.

anything will be helpful, thanks

The function is called autocorrect - type or paste the boilerplate text into
a document, select it, then tools > autocorrect options > autocorrect. Give
it a name eg fsp and if necessary check the formatted check box..

What you are describing is AutoComplete with AutoText entries. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm.

Well, you got two answers, and both are correct and luckily equally
convenient in Word 2003 (in Word 2007, there is no AutoComplete for
AutoText). In addition to the link Stefan gave you for AutoText, see this
one for AutoCorrect: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoCorrect.htm
