[dba-Tech] Word AutoText question

I'm not sure about that.  I think that is true for me, but you as an
Author(ess) would, I think, find yourself typing the same old
Heading/Salutation/framework etc etc over and over again.  You can do it all
with (for example) Ctl-S (for Control Susan - assuming such a thing was
possible!) and have it Launch Word, Open a template, populate it and
position at the first para.  Ctl-D (for example) would then despatch it to
printer/email/both etc.

Just for starters.

Thanks Max, but I wouldn't use it enough to warrant it, I don't imagine.
