Shortcut help

such as, I end each letter from my doc with "Thank you for the referral of the patient." Sincerely, John R. Brown, MD JEB/trh. I know there must be a way to store this so that all I have to do is strike 1 key to end my letters, but I don't knave a clue how to do this. Anyone have any suggetstions? Thanks

Type up what you want to "quick-type" (including font, color, format--just the way you want it to look when you normally type it in), then highlight it all.  At the top of the Word toolbar, click on "Insert." In the drop-down menu is "AutoText" with an arrow. Go onto the arrow, and there should be another drop-down menu. Click on "New." Write a simple title for it (like "JEB" or "Brown"). From that point on, you should be able to type in the title and AutoText will automatically place this in your work. Let me know if this works for you (I do it all the time--saves my poor fingers!).
