how do i add to the automatic completion list?

[Guest]

in 2003 i could add commonly used words to the autotext list. it would then
autocomplete when i was typing.

i can't find this in 2007. i can add to the quick part gallery, but it
doesn't autocomplete.

does 2007 have this feature?

am i missing something?

No, the developers had to disable AutoComplete for AutoText in 2007.
We're hoping they'll find a way to restore it in a service pack rather
than waiting a few years for the next release.

In the meantime, you have to type enough of the name to be unique (the
same amount that would have displayed the AutoComplete tip in 2003)
and then press F3 to insert the entry.
