Where is AutoSuggestion in Word 2007?

In Word 2003 I often used a feature that would automatically suggest words.
This was very useful with often used long company names like My Very Long
Company Name Ltd. You would start typing "My Ver", Word would suggest the
full name and all you had to do was to press Return.
Any ideas where this useful feature is hidden in Word 2007?

I just realised that the feature was called Auto Text in Word 2003. Still
have not found a solution though...

The feature is still present but the autocomplete is not. See insert > quick
parts > building block organizer. If you know the first few initial
characters you can type them and press F3 to insert the entry, or you could
use autocorrect instead.

Hi WexfordWellies,

Additional information about AutoText, including several ways to deal
with it in Word 2007, is at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm.

For the specific sort of replacement you mentioned in your first post,
though, AutoCorrect would probably be a better choice
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoCorrect.htm).
