Autoformat as you type

[Jen]

I admit that I have become a slave to the autoformat option in Word 2000/2003
that allows the user to enter frequently used words/small phrases so that
when you begin typing the first few letters it recognizes this and allows you
to enter this by hitting 'enter'. However, now that I have upgraded to 2007
I have not been able to find this function...is this no longer available? If
it is, then where can I find it?

That particular feature "Show AutoComplete Suggestions" is no longer
available. However, the underlying AutoText feature is still avaible (type
those first few letters and press F3) plus a whole lot more:

That is *not* AutoFormat As You Type as your subject line implies. It is
AutoText with AutoComplete. AutoText is still available in Word 2007, but
AutoComplete is not (except for dates). You can still type the first few
letters and press F3 to insert the AutoText entry. Or you can create an
AutoCorrect entry instead; see
