Hello,
I am using Word 2013 but I think Word 2010 is pretty much the same for auto text entries. You still create and use an auto text entry in the same way you did in Word 2003. Use Alt with function key 3 to define the auto text, and once defined when you type the short form in a document you press function key 3. In Word 2010 the entry is saved as a building block. Try the following steps: 1. In an open document type the entire text you want to appear in the file. 2. Select the text. 3. Press alt with function key 3 to bring up the new building block dialog box. 4. In the Name box type the short form you want to use. For example HAGD for "have a great day!" Note: With an entry such as "Have a great day" you want to be careful using or not using an uppercase first letter as AutoCorrect might not change it. Auto correct does not correct the capitalization for my auto text entries. If the H of the word "have" is lower case when created that will appear as a lower case even at the beginning of a sentence. If the H is a capital and you use the text in the middle of a sentence it might still appear as a capital letter. You might consider using a separate short form entry for uppercase such as HAGDU with the ending "U" being for uppercase. In this case you would type a capital H when first typing in the document and then use HAGDU for that entry. 5. Tab across the dialog box. Leave the gallery as AutoText. 6. Use the General category unless you want to create a different one. 7. You don't need to put anything in the description edit control. 8. In the list of templates where the auto text can be saved the Normal template should be used unless you want the auto text to be specific to a different template. 9. In the Options combo box "insert content only" should be used. You can also choose to have the text appear in its own paragraph or page from this box. 10. Tab to OK and use enter. 11. When you now type in the HAGD and press function key 3 the lower case form of the text will be used. When you type HAGDU the first H will have a capital letter. Take care.

I used to have one feature in Word 2003, I don't know was it the feature of Jaws or Word, I could define one acronym for a longer phrase, and typing this acronym used to bring whole combination of words. For instance, "ITL" for information technology law, and press f3. So whats the combination in word 2010 with jaws 17? -- Mohib Anwar Rafay Phone: +919 555 555 765 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: <http://www.jaws-users.com/help/> http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
