Default Quick Parts - autotext

Still trying to get to grips with the new 2007 version. I have trolled
through all the help files and on the net and I cannot find a quick way of
inserting the auto text. I can put a new entry in by selecting the text and
pressing Alt F3, but F3 will not expand the text out, it just puts in the
letters I have named it and says type text after it. In Word 2003 a small
balloon would appear by the word that would expand into Auto text and you
could press enter, or F3 to expand the text. Is there something in the
settings that I need to adjust to make this happen or alternatively a quick
way to expand the auto text. If you have to go into the building blocks
organizer, there does not seem a quick way to find the entry either.
