Walla Walla auto text

[fstepfer]

I knew how to create an auto text of the word Walla Walla in prior version of
word. It had something to do with the language setting. I cannot find the
instruction on how to do the language setting so that the added auto text
doesn't show up as a misspelled word.

No, nothing to do with the language setting (the custom dictionary should
always be set to "All Languages") or even AutoText, for that matter; the
trick is to put a nonbreaking space (Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar) between the
Wallas, then select the combination and add it to the custom dictionary.
Actually, just using a nonbreaking space will prevent it from being marked
as misspelled.
