Printing AutoText Entries

Written by Allen Wyatt (last updated October 23, 2021)

If you use the AutoText capabilities of Word, it is many times helpful to obtain a printout of your AutoText definitions. Word allows you to print such a list, which you can use as a reference. To print an AutoText list, follow these steps:

Select Print from the File menu. Word displays the Print dialog box. (See Figure 1.)

Figure 1. The Print dialog box.

Using the Print What pull-down list, select AutoText Entries.
Click on OK. The AutoText list is printed.
