I am aware of the AutoText, and AutoCorrect features in Word 2007. But I'm
looking for the AutoComplete OR AutoInsert feature, in which after typing
only 3-5 characters, Word automatically displays a box showing the word(s)
and displays the message "Press ENTER to Insert". Example: when you start
typing 'janu', the message box appears stating "January (Press ENTER to
Insert)".

AutoComplete was removed from Word 2007 (except for dates). You can still
type a few letters of the AutoText entry name and press F3, but AutoComplete
is dead (at least for this version; there has been strong pressure to
reinstate it in Word 14).
