ID: Q138966


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
  • Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0


SUMMARY

The following macro inserts all the AutoText entries in Normal.dot into a new document. The new document includes the name of each entry and separates the entries with horizontal lines.

Note that you can quickly print a list of all AutoText entries by clicking Print on the File menu, and choosing AutoText Entries in the Print What box. (On Word for the Macintosh, the box is named Print.) It is not necessary to use a macro for this method.
