Have you reassigned F3 to something else? Or, do you perhaps have a special keyboard with an F Lock feature that causes the F keys to do something different?
I don't understand the "how does it know to transfer to new document?" question. When you create autotext entries--unless you explicitly save them to a template that isn't normally available--those autotext entries will be available in new and existing documents.
But, your question makes me wonder about how you're going about it.

OK, I tried this F3 thing and it did not work.
I opened my list that is autotexted I opened a new document then I clicked
on the note on the autotext list (how does it know to transfer to new
document?) that I wanted, I pressed F3 and Excell openned up. [OK don't laugh
:-) ]

You can't do them all at once (unless each one is contained inside an
autotext field code... but going that route seems like it'd be just as much
work).
However, you don't need to use the dialog method to insert them once the
list exists. Just put the cursor at the end of each one and press F3. For a
list of a dozen items, this repetitive action woud probably take only a few
seconds to perform. If you have hundreds to insert at a time, then I would
look at using a macro.
