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

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).

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).
