Windows 7 Word and auto texts - Gio


Posted: Mar 02, 2012

I finally need to breakdown and get a new computer system.  I tried out my husband's Mac for transcription but it wasn't right for me.  Does anyone know if Windows 7 Word has the auto text feature?  I can't function without it.  Thank you so much! Gio

Word 2007 autocorrect - pancake

[ In Reply To ..]
I just got a new computer a few months ago with Word 2007 on it and, yes it does have auto correct.

AutoCorrect and AutoText are two different features. - SM

Word 2007 has AutoText, but the name of the feature changed to Building Blocks and works a little differently than previous versions.
