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.
To copyright a document, you can simply create the work and it is automatically protected under copyright law. However, for added protection, you can register your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office by submitting an application and a copy of your work.
To copyright your educational materials, you can simply create them and they are automatically protected under copyright law. You can also register your materials with the U.S. Copyright Office for added protection and legal benefits.
To copyright an image, you can simply create it and it is automatically protected under copyright law. However, to have legal proof of ownership, you can register the image with the U.S. Copyright Office by submitting an application and a copy of the image.
No you cannot "claim" copyright unless you are the original artist/author. Just because you "found" a copy of something does not mean you own the copyright for it. The only way to obtain copyright is to create it yourself, hire someone to create it for you, inherit it, or purchase the rights from the legal owner.
