Default Auto complete tip of the auto text does not show up.

AutoComplete was removed from Word 2007 (for technical reasons), but you can
still type the first four (or more) letters of the entry name and press F3.

Where is the equivalent of AutoText in Word 2007? I cannot find it.

The AutoComplete tip displays when you have typed enough letters of the
entry name (minimum four) to uniquely identify the AutoText entry. If

two
entries begin with the same first four letters, you'll need to type five

or
more until you have typed a unique series.

I am using office 97 word and whenever I type words in the auto text

it
does
not pop up as tip such that I can press enter to have the word in the
document. I went to the tools, auto correct and in the auto text tab I
selected the show tip box and pressed enter, It still does not

indicate
the
tip when typing the words from this feature. Help on this subject will

be
greatly appreciated. I am using windows XP as my operating system, if

this
information will help in diagnosing the problem.
