Add Common Addresses to AutoText Entries
Summary: Do you write letters to lots of different people? One good place to keep those addresses is in AutoText entries. They are easy to create by applying the techniques discussed in this tip.If you write lots of letters, you'll appreciate this one. Store your common address—the ones to whom you write letters the most—in AutoText entries. In this way, you can input just the first (or last) name of the person you need, press F3, and have the address inserted at the top of your letterhead—sure beats typing it out all the time.
Word 2007 has a new concept called Quick Parts, and AutoText has been absorbed into this new feature. You can add an address as a traditional AutoText entry by following these steps:
- Select the paragraphs containing the address.
- Press Alt+F3. Word displays the Create New Building Block dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Replace the contents of the Name field with the name you want assigned to the address. For instance, use the last name of the person or the person's title.
- Use the Gallery drop-down list to choose AutoText.
- Click on OK.
