Suzanne,

Thanks, I have "Show AutoComplete Tip for Auto Text and Dates" is
checked on the Auto Complete Dialog that comes up when I click Insert
then AutoText. Is that what you mean?
Also, I just found out that when they use Outlook, the Auto Text works
normally. Does this mean anything?

Thanks,

Assuming this is not Word 2007 (from which the AutoComplete function
has been removed, though F3 still works), make sure that "Use
AutoComplete suggestions" is checked in the AutoText dialog.

One of our employees says her auto text stopped working. She
normally can type a few letters and get the paragraph or name to
popup and she accepts it and goes on. Suddenly it just stopped
working. The autotext is still there but she has to pop up all the
autotext and browse down and select what she knows she wants. How
can she get the functionality back. She is using Word over the
TermServer Connection. Others do not have this problem.

Thanks
