Where is the AutoText feature in Word 2007?
Another question that seems to rise on virtually every Word course at the moment.
The AutoText feature is now disabled by default in Word 2007. Its successor is found in the ’Quick Parts’ section of the ‘Insert’ tab and whenever selected text is included it is now referred to as a ‘Building Block’.
However lurking just under the Word bonnet is AutoCorrect. You can get Word to trigger the previous AutoText icon by going to the Office button (top left of screen) and clicking ‘Word Options’ at the bottom of the box.
Once in Word Options screen select ‘Customize’ from the left side to enter ’Customize Quick Access Toolbar and keyboard shortcuts’ box.
Click the downward facing arrow next to ‘Commands not in ribbon’ and select ‘AutoText’ then click the ‘Add’ button.
Once the OK button has been clicked AutoText will now appear on the ‘Quick Access’ toolbar (top left of the screen).

many thanks for that. Very generous with your knowlwedge.
I am currently using word 2007. In previous versions I used to save the name of the company and the address using ALT +A+X. This new version is very confusing. I have learnt to save the new data in the word 2007 but I cannot edit, delete the old addresses or old company not doing any business with us. The building blocks etc are so confusing. Can you help me understand it?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
