The method 1 and method 2 can also be applied in Microsoft Excel. Let’s have a look.
To use the text, go to Insert Quick PartsAutoText, and choose the entry you want. Configure and use an AutoCorrect entry In your document, select up to 255 characters that you want to make into a reusable snippet. Go to File Options Proofing, and select AutoCorrect Options.
