In Word 2003 when I began typing my name/address stuff it autocompleted it
for me. How do I set up 2007 to do the same thing?

Obviously it can't know how to finish the AutoText entry until I create it.
How do I do that? Right now if I type the first 4 letters of my name and
hit F3 it finishes entering my entire name only. I want it to enter name
and address.

The autocomplete function is not implemented in 2007 so you will have to
revise those multi-layer autotexts that share the leading parts of their
names to make the first four letters unique.

OK. I found 2 workarounds. 1. I made a macro for my name/address and it
pulls up easily. 2. I made a "template" file that has my name/address and
an automatic changing current date. So if I want to start a letter with
that info I just pull up the template file. Both work fine but I miss the
autocomplete.

You might find it more useful to use a CreateDate filed in the template than
the changing Date field.
