What happened to Auto Text and Auto Complete in Word 2007?
Hi Medtran,
To add to Suzanne's reply AutoText was expanded into the Office 2007 Document Parts feature set. In Word 2007 that's 36 separate
contextual content 'galleries', of which AutoText is one gallery. The type-unique-string+F3 can pull content from most of the
galleries, not just the AutoText one, but the 'tooltip'+Enter to accept is no longer functional except for dates.
On the ribbon some of the more common galleries are Header, Footer, Page Numbers, Quick Parts, Cover Pages.
The older version Autotext list of content was morphed into
Insert=QuickParts=Building Block organizer.
The new User Interface is more visually oriented, i.e. showing previews of the many of the entries to choose from.

I was using Word 2003 and upgraded to 2007. I use Auto Text/Auto Complete
function as a major part of my work as a transcriptionist and I don't see
Auto Text in 2007 at all. Did they do away with it completely, or it is in
some new place I can't find. Can someone please help me with this??
