This sounds like something you should bring to the Word programmers'
attention by posting a query through the knowledge base or by commenting on a
Word team blog. Programmers are working now on the next major version of
Word.
I don't use either feature (auto correct or auto text) often and because I'm
a technical editor who can't afford to have things corrected incorrectly,
I've turned all but curly quotes off. But your comments have clarified the
differences for me.

Thanks, Suzanne, but unfortunatley, F3 is the fast forward command for my
transcription system, so that won't work. Also, too many of my entries could
potentially have the same letters, such as myocardial infarction and
minimally invasive, "MI". That's why the autocorrect feature was such a
godsend. I could add many common phrases and be sure I was not mistakenly
adding one that was not correct.
You can still type the first few letters of the AutoText entry name and
press F3 (not requiring a trip to the BB Organizer).

Any tips?
