Default Is there an equivalent of word perfect's Quick words?

I am no computer expert and only a self taught Wordperfect user. I have been
using wordperfect for a long time and I use hundreds of "quickwords" and
"quickcorrects" in the documents I type as short cuts. I see Word has
macros, but this seems much more complicated than quick words or quick for
my simple tasks (like using three key strokes to bring up a long word or
group of words, I do not need entire page or document set ups). Is there
an equivalent of word perfect's Quick words?

See autocorrect and autotext - both of which poerform much the same task,
albeit in a different way from one another.

The closest equivalents would probably be AutoText (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm) and AutoCorrect (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...toCorrect.htm).
