There is other software out there, like the free PhraseExpress for Windows, that performs a similar task system-wide. However, once content is inserted using an AutoText entry, that content will NOT be automatically updated when you change the AutoText entry. The trick discussed in that article is similar to using an AutoText entry. NOTE: We’ve previously written about how to reference text from other documents in Word so you can insert reusable content into other documents that will automatically update. You can also add as many custom building blocks as you want. Quick Parts and AutoText entries are also known as “Building Blocks” and Word comes with many predefined building blocks. In addition to AutoText entries, the Quick Parts feature allows you to insert document properties (such as title and author) and fields (such as dates and page numbers). The AutoText feature has been part of Office for a long time, but is now part of Quick Parts, which was added to Office 2007. The AutoText feature in Word allows you to store these chunks of text and quickly insert them with a few keystrokes, so you can waste less time typing. How to Find the Workday a Specific Number of Days Before of After a “Start Date” in MS Excel by using WORKDAY.We all have a few large chunks of text we have to type regularly–like your address, long names or phrases, or even tables and images you use often. Just select any other time unit you like instead of days. NOTE: The method to create by MONTHS (or any other time period listed in the GROUPING screen) is the same. (5) Click OK to create your aggregate table for WEEKS: In the GROUPING dialog box select DAYS and “7” in the NUMBER OF DAYS drop-down list: (4) Now, select any of the days and right-click. Your Pivot Table will be created automatically: (3) Click DATA to insert it in the VALUES quadrant of the Pivot Table and click DAYS to insert it in the ROWS quadrant. (2) In the Create PivotTable dialog box, select Existing Worksheet and then click on a cell for insertion point:

Let’s say this is what your daily data looks like: With that precautionary note, here is how you can accomplish this procedure. However, if for example your data is “average temperature per day,” then it of course does not make sense to aggregate such data since the temperature for a week is not the aggregate sum of daily temperatures but their arithmetic mean. You can apply this method to, for example, a data of “trucks arrived” or “shirts bought” per day since the total aggregate amounts would still make sense for longer time units. If you have daily data that still makes sense when aggregated into weekly or monthly data, then you can accomplish that very easily in MS Excel, thanks to pivot tables.
