2007 that feature is lost ?

Auto Text has been replaced by the Quick Parts function in Outlook 2007.

Are you really using Word 2003 or did you mean to say Word 2007? If you have
Word 2007 and your old AutoText entries appear in Quick Parts in Word as
Building Blocks, you could try the following:

1) With Outlook and Word closed, search for a file called NormalEmail.dotm
and rename it to NormalEmail.old
2) Make a copy of the Normal.dotm file (which belongs to Word) and rename
it NormalEmail.dotm
3) Open Outlook and see if your Word QuickParts entries are now in
Outlook's Quick Parts section, which is in the Text section of the Insert tab
on the ribbon in a new message window. If so, and if none of your other
e-mail formatting is messed up, you can keep things as-is. If you want to go
back to the old NormalEmail file, close Outlook, delete the NormalEmail.dotm
file, and rename NormalEmail.old back to NormalEmail.dotm.

Failing that, you will need to copy and paste your old AutoText entries into
Outlook's Quick Parts one by one. (I'm not real happy with that either...)

Hi,
I have a similiar challenge, but I really am using Word 03 with Outlook 07.
Do you know how to make the transfer or at least add to Quick Parts?
Thanks,
Russell

You really aren't using Word 2003 unless your system is terribly messed up.
Outlook 2007 uses a bundled component of Word 2007 (it uses it even if Word
2007 isn't installed) and the is no user choice.
Maybe you assumed that if only Word 2003 was installed you were using that.

Well, you are correct, what I meant to say is that I have only Outlook 07,
not the entire office package. When I create a new mail message, it is
certainly this bundled component. My challenge is that the entire quick parts
ribbon is visible, but disabled.

Would you know why?

Quick Parts should be just a button in the Text Chunk in the Insert Ribbon.
Is the button there active? You wont' see anything (except a blanked out
"Save selection to Quick part Gallery") until you create a Quick Part. You
do so by selecting text in he body of an email and then "Save Selection as a
Quick Part" will be enabled. Save it and you can use it in the future.
