auto text confusion

[Debby]

When using an auto text entry, if I select it from the
auto text drop down list it inserts correctly; however,
if I select it by using the Enter key when the balloon
pops up the auto text entry automatically seems to
include a space after it. For instance, the
word "conversation" is one of my auto text entries. If I
want to have the word "conversations" and I accept the
text entry from the balloon for "conversation" and then
try to add an "s" on the end it puts in a space first and
then the "s". This doesn't happen when I select it from
the auto text drop down list. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Debby,

No real solution for this, it's just the way the feature
works. What should work correctly would be to type the
AutoText's *name*, then press F3.
