AutoComplete was dropped from Word 2007, but F3 still works; give your
AutoText entries short names, type them, then press F3.

In the last version of Word I had, I was able to add words that I use
often,
like FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. When I began typing those words, Word made a
little suggestion come up that gave me a chance to select if I want to use
what it had suggested or not just by hitting the "Enter" key, I believe.
I've
looked through the AutoText area and added these words together in a
phrase,
as well as others I use together a lot, but as I start typing in those
words,
it does nothing. It doesn't give me the suggestion of the phrase. Does
anyone
know how to accomplish this again? I was able to get this text added to
Auto
Text by using the Save Selection to AutoText Gallery and by clicking on
the
words there, it puts it into my document. Is that now the only way I can
get
these often used phrases into my document? No more typing on the page and
getting a suggestion? Thanks for any help
