It depends on your definition of the word 'automatically'. Word does very
little 'automatically'. It requires user instruction.
If you want to store phrases etc for ease of re-insertion then you can use
Autocorrect. You will need to add the Autocorrect Options button to the QAT
(Quick Access Toolbar). It is in the All commands group.
Then type your phrase or whatever, select it and click the autocorrect
button. The phrase (or at least as much as will fit, will be shown in the
'With' window. Type a trigger command - eg for my signature block I use
#gm - and click OK. Typing #gm in a document then replaces #gm with my
signature block. You can include just about anything in an autocorrect entry
that you can insert into a document.
The only way to have an automatic date insertion in a document is to have a
date field (or which there are several types) in the document template. You
can manually insert the date from the Insert Tab Date & Time button.

Sorry but this doesn't help me one bit. It's my first day using
Word 2007, and I can't even automatically insert today's date.
