8.11 Using AutoCorrect and AutoText

Both the AutoCorrect and AutoText commands quickly insert frequently used boilerplate
text and graphics.
With AutoCorrect, Word inserts previously created entries (by user) automatically as the
user types. Because AutoCorrect inserts text automatically as you type, you can use it to
automatically correct your most common typing and spelling errors.

AutoText entries are inserted after the user chooses the AutoText command or types the entry
name and urea a shortcut key.
