To create an autotext from the currently selected text:

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries _
.Add Name:="MyAutotext", Range:=Selection.Range

to create it in the attached template,
or to create it in Normal.dot:

NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries _
.Add Name:="MyAutotext", Range:=Selection.Range

Jean-Guy,

than ks for your response. The code Range:=Selection.range is the text.
Instead of the selected text I want to also to put there text. so instead of
selected text in the document I want the text in VBA.

Can you help me?

I do not think it can be done as the AutoTextEntries.Add method requires a
range.
I guess you could try feeding it a string:

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries _
.Add Name:="MyAutotext", Range:=SomeStringVariable

But it will not work.
I think the reason is that Word stores more than just a string of text, it
stores formatting info with he AutoText. Word could not get formatting info
with a string.

I guess you could use a dummy/temp document or create a temporary range in
the current document, create the AutoText and then delete the
range/document.
