Auto Correct / Text

[Nikki]

I would like to be able to add phrases I use often to auto correct or if
there is auto text in word 2007. I can add in auto correct, but would like
when start typing the phrase, for the sentence to pop up and can then enter
to accept which sentence I need to use. I know that 2003 word has this
option but cannot work it out on 2007. Is there a way to to do this. For
now all i can do is start type the characters have in Replace and then use
space bar and it inserts sentence. How can I see the sentence before
inserting it?

Nikki,

AutoText is alive in Word2007 and in many ways much improved. I say many,
because the ShowAutoComplete suggestion feature is unfortunately gone.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR
