Re: Creating a masterlist and using it to create custom lists

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If your AutoText names contain spaces, then pressing F3 won't work (in my experience). I would use ENY01, instead, without the space.

Thanks Mr. Tyson, I do have a lock feature I forgot about. Man your good at
this stuff. I am for sure going to buy your book when we upgrade office to
the latest.

Regarding the transfering: I have a document with 47 statements that I have
bulleted "ENY 01" I have autotexted each statement to match the bullet
number. So when I open a new document and I only want 5 of the statements I
go in to autotext window and I type in heading and it inserts it. When I use
F3 key (not enhanced) It does not do anything when I click on the bullet and
press F3. I have the new document openned and the template list open.

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.
