= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word version 5.50, you can insert glossary text into dialog box fields or command fields with that glossary’s key code.

This feature allows you to insert text into the text boxes within the Search, Replace, and Summary Information dialog boxes. For example, you can copy a name into a glossary entry called “author,” define a key code (for example, CTRL+T), then insert the glossary text into the Author text box in the Summary Information dialog box by pressing CTRL+T.

Note: You cannot copy text directly from the scrap to dialog box text boxes.
