Inserting Symbols and AutoText


Word comes with a host of symbols and special characters for every need. Insert just the right one to keep from compromising a message's professional appearance with a hand-drawn arrow ( «) or missing mathematical symbol ( ). AutoText stores text and graphics you want to reuse, such as a company logo, boilerplate text, or formatted table. For example, you can use AutoText to quickly insert the text To Whom It May Concern or a graphic of your signature. Use the AutoText entries that come with Word, or create your own.
