It depends what you mean by 'more powerful'. I can't off-hand think of
anything that Autotext can hold that Autocorrect cannot. Suzanne is correct
in suggesting that you still have to remember the trigger keys, but it is
not imposible to make logical combinations that are easy enough to remember,
but if you prefer autotext/quickparts that's fine. There is no
'autocomplete' in Word 2007.

Precisely. AutoCorrect can only do so much. AutoText can be far more
powerful. As it turns out, I think the F3 thing may prove a bit
easier after all...as AutoText's AutoComplete suggestion disengages
after you type too many characters. With 2007's QuickParts, it seems
you can type more of the prompt instead of just 6 characters, or
whatever.

But then you have to remember the prompt for the AutoCorrect
entries, which is just as much trouble as remembering the names of
the AutoText entries!

You might consider investigating autocorrect instead as this inserts
immediately.

n/m. Crisis averted. Had a fairly recent backup that I remembered
about, but slapping Word around a bit got it working right again
anyway. Still...what an inconvenience. I don't know about you,
but I don't actually have the 'titles' of all my AT's memorized,
and have relied on that prompt. I think I may just switch back to
XP for transcription and save the new developer/"PageMaker" format
for fiddle-farting around with in my spare time.
Thank you both again for putting heads together to discuss this!
