I have been charged with making a word document that needs to have a built in autoreplace function.
I currently use a macro to add / remove MS 'autocomplete' entries. I need to alter this to make it easy for a user to change or add new entries. I was thinking this would be easy to do, but aparently its not.
Is there a way, thru scripting or macros, to gather outside info (from say a .txt file or another .doc or .xls file in the same folder) and have it apply to a specific word document (preferrably not system wide, and not permanent)?
Example: User types "Computer system is m1" and "Computer system is d5"
Word will autoreplace the m1 and d5 with prewritten description. How can I make it very easy for someone who knows nothing about word to alter or add m1, m2, d5, etc? Ideally, this would be done by having a seperate file that simply lists m1="p4, 256mb, cdrw" d5="amd, 2gb, dvdrw"
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
