there a release date for W2010 yet?

Or hold your breath. I believe I am allowed to say that AutoComplete for
AutoText will be restored in Word 2010.

I did think of that. The problem is that I have literally thousands of
entries. I have the old normal.dot saved on a flash drive and was hoping
that I could convert it from Word 2003 to Word 2007. When I got my
laptop,
it was very easy to move it from my PC to my laptop - both running Word
2003.


Who knew Microsoft would trash functionability in a new version of Word?
That is just crazy.


But thank you for your reply. If I do that it will take me weeks. What I
will probably end up doing is finding 3rd party software compatible with
the
old normal.dot and Word 2007. It must exist.

Tell me what good that does when you are typing fast - you are being
paid for how fast you type, and you COUNT on the program - ie Word -
to auto complete 25 and 27 letter words for you (medical words) as it
did in Word 2003. This has created a HUGE problem for me.


sure, start typing
phacoemulsification or otorhinolaryngology or some that are even
worse.


This was a big oversight and I'm sorry I ever bought Word 2007.

You can go back to the way Word used to work, before AutoComplete
was introduced. Type the *name* of the AutoText entry, then press
F3.


You don't actually need to type the whole name - just enough of it
to
uniquely identify it.
