I would like to have a few of my own key words suggested (AutoText or
AutoComplete) just like when you are suggested "Sunday" when you type Sun and
you get a prompt that says "(Press Enter to Insert)".
I read in some forums that this used to be a feature of 2003 now no longer
available in 2007?

It is correct that AutoComplete no longer works for AutoText entries
(Building Blocks) in Word 2007.

However, you can create an AutoCorrect entry to replace one item with
another. Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the
Proofing category, click AutoCorrect Options. On the AutoCorrect tab, select
"Replace text as you type," and then specify the word and its replacement.
Click Add. Repeat the procedure if necessary, and click OK when you are
done.

AutoCorrect isn't limited to plain text, by the way: you can have Word
replace a word with a formatted word or with a graphic for example.

Correct - the autocomplete prompt is not available in Word 2007.
