Lost Autotext Functionality (Word XP) After Upgrade to Outlook 03
Hi There,
We recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 but are still running Word XP. This means we can't use Word as the email editor. One user relied heavily on the autotext functionality for inserting frequently used paragraphs and sentences etc. Rather than upgrading Word or downgrading Outlook does anyone know of an alternate way for us to have something similar to the autotext functionality. Thanks, Steve

Lost Autotext Functionality (Word XP) After Upgrade to Outlook 03
Yes--he can use Signatures to set up boilerplate text. Just set the default
Signature to NONE and use the InsertSignature command to choose which autotext or signatures he wants to use. He can set up as many as he wants, along with several signatures. This comes in handy and doesn't eat up resources like Word. "SteveS" wrote: Hi There, We recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 but are still running Word XP.

You could use a 3rd party app like autohotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com)
which is free. -- -- -Ben- Ben M. Schorr, MVP Roland Schorr & Tower http://www.rolandschorr.com "SteveS" wrote in message ...

Thanks Mary, that's a great idea. I'll test it with the user tomorrow.

Thanks Ben, that looks like it will work well too. We'll try that as well.
