When you want to insert an AutoText entry, you can select it from a list of entries on the AutoText toolbar or on the AutoText tab (Insert menu, AutoText submenu, AutoText command). Or you can use the AutoComplete feature to insert the entry when you type a few identifying characters. You can also use AutoComplete to insert the current date, a day of the week, or a month.

When you type the characters, Word displays a ScreenTip, at which point you can insert or ignore the entry. For example, type augu for the month of August. When Word suggests the entire item, "August", press ENTER or F3 to accept it. (If you then type an additional space, Word suggests the current date, such as "August 22, 1998.") To ignore the entry, keep typing.
