I just recently started editing ASP pages in VS2003 (don't ask). I guess I expected AutoText to work, and it doesn't. In the spirit of replicating the experience of the average user, I have made no effort to read the help - it should just work.
For example, VAX ships with this Autotext entry:
fun:
function -?() {
}
So, if I type in "fun", followed by a CR, it should paste the code - but it doesn't. So, what am I doing wrong? TIA.

it turns out that autotext only works inside script blocks, which is noted at the bottom of the page:

i have put in a feature request to enable this outside of script blocks since i agree, this is not what you would expect. inserting code templates does work outside of script blocks, but you will have to set these up manually before you can use them.
