Default Autotext and the genius who got rid of it. Why????????

The reasons given for removing AutoComplete seemed cogent to the developers
at the time; I suspect that Word 14 will see a change of heart once they
figure out a way to work around the problems that AutoComplete causes (by
restricting it to just Building Blocks defined as AutoText).

Yes I know you can still get it using F3 (another out of the way step
compared to old) and why the Building block? Isn't it supposed to be
getting simpler not harder to use these things!!!

Here is my rant, why the big change, if it ain't broke don't fix, chances
are my company will now go to either Open office or WP (depending on my
rec's as to if it is going to work).
