Thank you for your help.

I want to use auto fill in and I can't figure out how to do it with Vista.
I did it with last version of Word. All I had to do is start typing a word
and hit enter after a couple of letters. Also I could put GBC and get Grace
Baptist Church. Do you understand what I'm trying to do?

I have one more question. I want to password protect a word document and I
can't figure out how to do it. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I'm sorry about the blank reply. I don't know how that happend, but here is
the real reply.

There are two features in Word that do things like what you described in
your first question: Quick Parts (Autotext) and Autocorrect.

In Word 2007, the Autotext feature from previous versions has become part of
the Building Blocks feature, which includes numerous galleries of building
blocks, one of which is called Quick Parts. There is also an Autotext
gallery, but I think that this name was included only to help users familiar
with this name from previous versions. There are many predefined building
blocks and you can add your own to any of the galleries, but only you define
the Quick Parts (or Autotext) entries. To define a Quick Parts (or Autotext)
entry, such as a Quick Parts entry for Grace Baptist Church, type Grace
Baptist Church, select what you just typed, and press Alt+F3. In the dialog
box that opens, change the name to GBC, notice that the Gallery is set to
Quick Parts by default, and click OK. Before you click OK, you can change
Quick Parts to Autotext in the Gallery dropdown list. This change is not
necessary, and if you do make this change, your entry will not be displayed
in the list of Quick Parts that you can display by clicking Quick Parts in
the Text group of the Insert tab on the Ribbon.

Now, to insert your Quick Parts entry or any Building Block into a document,
just type its name, such as GBC, and press F3 as you did for Autotext entries
in your previous version of Word.

You can manage your Quick Parts from the Ribbon. On the Insert tab, in the
Text group, click the little arrow in Quick Parts, and then click Building
Blocks Organizer.

The Autocorrect feature automatically changes a word (misspelled word) or
text string to another word (the correctly spelled word), symbol, or text
string. Autocorrect is enabled by default, and you can view and modify the
changes that it will make. To do this, click the Office Button, click Word
Options, click Proofreading, click Autocorrect.

I personally recommend that you use Quick Parts to expand short abbreviations.

To password protect your document, on the Review tab of the Ribbon, in the
Protect group, click Protect Document, select the protection options that you
want, and then click Yes, Start Enforcing Protection. In the dialog box that
opens, set the password.
