How to Insert Auto Text in Word 2007

Microsoft Office Word 2007 allows you to create an AutoText entry, which is a graphic or text that is stored in a gallery to be used in other documents. For example, an AutoText entry can be a personal signature, standard contract clause or an introduction that is used in multiple documents. In order to insert the AutoText you've created, you must add the AutoText button to the Quick Access Toolbar so that you can easily select your text from the gallery.

3. Click on the "Customize" option. Click on the "All Commands" option from the "Choose commands from" section.

4. Locate the "AutoText" option and then select it. Click on the "Add" button and an AutoText button will appear in the Quick Access Toolbar.

5. Click in your document where you want to add the AutoText and then click on the "AutoText" button.

6. Select the text you want added to your document from the gallery of AutoText entries and the text will appear in the document.
