How to auto-fill names and titles that I pre-enter in a list?

I've really tried with AutoText and Word Options to do something in Word 2007
and I hope you can help me. In old Word: I could start typing, say, my name:
Mardi de.....as I was typing a box with my name and title would come up
giving me the oppotunity to hit 'enter' and it would automatically fill in:
Mardi de Kemp, Communications Officer. Tried your online help and F1 help on
my computer to try to find this function in Word 2007 - I want to be able to
fill in many names, titles and organizations to give me an 'autofill?' option
as I type. I do not think the AutoText 'gallery' suits my purposes.

as you could be, Mardi........Ottawa............m

FWIW, MS has been forced to acknowledge that this was an unpopular decision
(based on what seemed at the time rational considerations wrt other building
blocks), and I think you'll be better pleased with Word 2010. <g>
