Memorize Repeated Text

Anonymous

I use certain abbreviations repeatedly in my work.  I want to cut down the number of times I have to type them during the day.  In other word processing software, I could "memorize" the text and assign it to a particular keystroke.  How do I do it in Word 365?

What you are describing is probably a "keyboard macro" in WordPerfect. Word substitutes AutoText and AutoCorrect. For your purposes, AutoCorrect is probably more appropriate, but see these articles:
