| 545164 | 2007-04-29 06:36:00 | Hi All. In my book writing I use the same phrases, or collection of words, descriptive passages, often. For example 'Sally & Sylvia'. Is there a way that I can type in 'S&S', hit another key & have 'Sally & Sylvia' appear instead? PJ |

| 545165 | 2007-04-29 06:48:00 | May depend a little on which version of Word, but in mine - select menu TOOLS, AUTOCORRECT and add "SSS" in the left column and "Sally & Sylvia" in the right column, then click ADD. Make sure "replace as you type" is ticked. Then whenever you type SSS it will magically change to Sally & Sylvia as soon as you type the next space or whatever.. (Note I change your S&S to SSS - easier to key in) |

In the 'change to' box, it will only take so many letters. Is there a way to extend this.? PJ I say to my Missus...."Eeh Lass tha looks reight gradely" She replies, 'Shuroop ya daft booger'.

| 545170 | 2007-04-30 11:09:00 | (In my Word 97) I couldn't find the limit in the "change to" box - looks like it's almost infinite. I got to over 50 characters before I gave up. (I lost count of how many times I counted my fingers.) Did you strike a limit then? If there is a limit (e.g. 50 chars?) then I guess you could use change from "sss1" then "sss2" then "sss3" to get 150 characters. But if you need more then maybe "insert file" would be more appropriate: have a number of prepared files and insert file "sss.doc" etc. Me grandma used to say something sounds like "eeh thaat a do a flump" which when you listen carefully translates to "you're a dough lump" - meaning "thaat a daft ha'porth". Cheers! |
