AutoCorrect still works exactly as before. It is only the behavior of
AutoText that has changed.

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).

I agree. Transcriptionists all over the world must be cussing right
along
with me! I transcribe letters for doctors who repeat the same phrases
over
and over. The autocomplete feature in autotext was such a time saver.
The
autotext feature in 2007 does not work well for many of my entries,
such
as
physician addresses and the building blocks are impossible to insert on
the
fly. I have to stop typing, go to Quick Parts, go to the Builing
Blocks
Organizer, find the building block and then click insert. With
autocomplete,
I would be able to start typing the text, it would pop up, I would hit
enter
and keep on typing. While I understand what Microsoft was trying to do
with
the building blocks, they really dropped the ball by omitting the
autocomplete feature as it was in 2003. My work is taking twice as
long
now.

We miss the AUTO COMPLETE feature to insert an Auto Text entry that
was
available in Word 2003, but we have not found how to activate it (if
it
is
available) in Word 2007.

We have found Quick Parts not as user friendly as the old Auto Text.

Any tips?
