Actually, AutoText is not at all missing from Word 2007. Instead, the
feature has expanded; there is now support for so-called building blocks,
which can be stored in different galleries and provides a way to quickly add
predefined contents to headers, footers, text boxes, etc. AutoText still
exists as one of those galleries.
What does no longer exist is the ability to use AutoComplete with AutoText /
building blocks. To insert a building block, just type its name and then
press F3.
Alternatively, to keep insertion automatic, you can make use of a formatted
AutoCorrect entry instead.

As I've been reading, the auto-text was a major essential business tool.
And
for MSN to remove this feature is astounding. How could they be so
careless?
Maybe it is a way for them to fill up the Office 2007 instruction classes
and
make more $$$$?
They need to fix this feature, but of course beware whenever they open it
up
and fix something then something else will go haywire.
