AutoText allows to get Word to type in longer pieces of text when you have only type in a few letters. For example, it is possible to set AutoText for your name, where all you would have to do would be to type the initials of your name and Word will then put in your full name. If you type your full name, select it and press Alt F3, a dialog box will come up asking for a name for your Autotext. You could then type your initials and click OK. Then on the page, you could type your initials and press F3 and your initials will be replaced by your full name.
In more standard usage, someone can type in an abbreviation or an acronym and have Word put in the full version automatically. Some pieces of AutoText are built in and you can choose from lists for things like the start of end of a letter, so that it might put in "Sincerely Yours" at the end

To know how to integrate text and non-text items in a document, I use the format function on the toolbar. By using the insert and page layout functions I can design roughly. To fit text into a non-text item, I would use the Format Auto shape dialog and click the Text Tab box and then Text auto fitting would produce options for me to use.

What is difference between autotext and auto correct in Microsoft Word?
Word's AutoText feature allows users to store any amount of text and graphics for re-use in other documents. This is typically referred to as boilerplate text. The AutoCorrect feature automatically replaces text as you type. This is really intended to correct common mistakes. For example, you type 'teh', Word changes it to 'the'. That's AutoCorrect. You can set up your own AutoCorrect entries and in that way replace one string of text with another. People often use AutoCorrect to insert boilerplate text instead of using AutoText. For example, they type P1 and Word automatically replaces it with the text the user has told Word is the 'correction' to apply when that string is typed. However, an AutoCorrect replacement string is limited to something like 256 characters thus limiting it's effective use in relation to boilerplate type text. It is also irritating if you actually want to use the string of characters, such as P1, in text. An obvious example of this is that by default Word replaces (c) with the copyright symbol. Useful but annoying if you really want (c) in your text. As far as I am aware, it is not possible to print a list of AutoCorrect entries, whereas it is easy to print a list of AutoText entries. AutoText entries can also be stored in a specific Word template. For example, you may want a series of paragraphs to create a Will but would not need those paragraphs for any other reason. By storing the entries in a template upon which you base Wills, they will not be available when working on any other document type. It is easy to move AutoText entries between templates & to copy them to other users whereas it is not as easy to do so with AutoCorrect entries.
