F3 doesn't insert Autotext
in [Document Management]

From: MrsMac on 5 Apr 2010 13:22 More headaches with Word 2007's dreaded Building Blocks. I have a five-word phrase that I have set up in Quick Parts gallery and Building Blocks, with the first two words being the name. When I look at the Building Blocks Organizer, the phrase is there properly. It shows in the preview properly. But when I type the first two words and hit F3, I'm told it's not a unique building block name. There is no other building blocks entry that has this same name. I can't figure out what's wrong here. I have had problems with other autotext entries and formatting, but not a simple phrase. Thanks for any help you can give me. Word 2010 cannot come soon enough!!
From: Stefan Blom on 5 Apr 2010 13:37 Note that the message doesn't mean that there are two entries with the *same* name. Instead, it indicates that there is an entry with a *similar* name. If you type in some more characters, then can Word identify and insert the Building Block? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MrsMac" <MrsMac(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8B6F91A7-BEA3-4481-B2AC-04F996529BDC(a)microsoft.com... > More headaches with Word 2007's dreaded Building Blocks. > > I have a five-word phrase that I have set up in Quick Parts gallery and > Building Blocks, with the first two words being the name.

From: MrsMac on 5 Apr 2010 14:36 I tried it with 3 words, then 4 -- didn't work either time. I had one other entry that started with a similar phrase ("Does the" instead of "Does best.") I deleted the "does the" entry entirely. "Does best" entry still did not work. Then I tried it with just the first word -- "Does." It works. Go figure. Fortunately, I do not use the entry I deleted so I *guess* my problem is solved. I still can't understand why this ONE entry has been so problematic! By the way, do you know if Autocomplete will come back in W2010 functioning as it did in the past? Thanks for your help!

From: Stefan Blom on 5 Apr 2010 15:12 Maybe the presence of a space character in the Building Block name contributed to the difficulty; I don't know. I'm told that AutoComplete suggestions will be back for Building Blocks in Word 2010. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MrsMac" <MrsMac(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:466912A5-9315-4CBE-8F0B-8E5997EA62B1(a)microsoft.com... >I tried it with 3 words, then 4 -- didn't work either time.
