Thank you so much, that works okay -- just somethine I'll get used to.
Everything changes and in the great scheme of things, if that's my worst
problem I'm pretty happy about it. Thanks again.

In my previous version of Word XP I was able to type a frequently typed
phrase or difficult to spell word (hepatosplenomegaly for example). I would
type in part of the word or phrase and only hit ENTER to fill in the rest. I
can't find the function in Word 2007 to do this. Anybody have any
suggestions they will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
AutoCorrect is still available. The dialog to manage it is now in the Options
dialog instead of the Tools menu. Go to Office button Word Options Proofing
and click the AutoCorrect Options button. You can select any word, phrase,
picture, etc., then go to that dialog and enter an 'alias'. Whenever you type
the alias in a document and follow it with a space or punctuation, it'll be
replaced by the full entry.
What you described is the AutoText feature, which in Word 2007 has become part
of the Building Blocks feature (Insert Quick Parts Building Blocks
Organizer). Because Microsoft fumbled this one, it's harder to use than in
previous versions -- the automatic completion tips are gone, and you have to
press F3 to activate the replacement instead of pressing Enter.
