Yep, I thought so too, but it was Auto Correct that did the trick for me
(not Auto Text) - Under Word Options > Proofing (as sent to me in an
offlist response) and I get it set up there - not intuitive to me as it
isn't really proofing that I am doing at this point, but it works.
Thanks again - this list is awesome.

Using Word 2007 on Vista. Currently developing some QRCs to supplement
some training. In these QRCs, I am fleshing out some configuration
processes/steps required to configure a customer's Ethernet service.
Over and over again, at the end of each step in a configuration process,
I am having to enter "Press [Enter]." I would like some way of
shortcutting this in word - either through a series of keystrokes or a
function key. I know that I can do this in Word 2003, but for the life
of me, I can't find it in Word 2007 and I have searched in the OLH for
2007 and unless I haven't used every possible search combination for
this topic, I cannot find it in the OLHelp-less for Word.
