word shortcuts

[psanin]

Type a macro

Go to Tools,
click on Record new macro,
click on the keyboard icon
in the box that reads: Press new shorcut
Press Alt + L (at the same time) or any other combination
that you want
Hit assign and then type "learning disabilities"

When you are finish typing then hit the buttom that reads
Stop Recording

When you are typing your document and you need to
type "learning disabilities" just press Alt+L

I am using word 2003 and Windows xp. I am typing the

words "learning disabilities" numerous times in my
dissertation. I am wondering is there a way to make a
keyboard short cut that would type these words for me.

This is overkill. AutoCorrect is the way to go. Not to mention that
Alt+anything is a poor selection for a shortcut key because it is very
likely already assigned as the accelerator key for a menu.
