I want to be able to use one keystroke to type a sentence that I use all the time. This is:

Please find our order acknowledgement attached.

It would be so useful just to type one letter, say Z, and this types out automatically - like a word processor.

I have tried to make a macro, but couldn't get it to work.


RE: Outlook

Hi Helen,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

You should be able to achieve this by creating an Autocorrect entry.

Please follow these steps below:

1. In the Inbox, go to the Tools menu and choose Options.
2. Select the Mail Format tab.
3. Click the 'Use Word as my email editor' checkbox.
4. Create a new message and click into the message body.
5. Go to Tools and then Autocorrect options.
6. In the Replace box type (as in your example Z) and in the With box type the text that will be replaced.
7. Click Add and then OK.
8. In the message area type z followed by enter or space and it should autocorrect with the text entered in the With box.
9. You can then repeat the process above to add other corections.

I hope this answers your question. If it does can you please mark the question as resolved.

Regards

Simon
