I assumed that when you wrote "my own auto text library" you understood that
AutoText entries are stored in a template (Normal.dot unless you specified a
different template). If you have an existing template from the old version
of Word, you can make that available in Word 2007. The steps are:
1. Make a copy of the old template (just to be safe, so you have an
untouched backup in case something goes wrong).
2. If the old template contains any macros, you should remove them. Open the
template, press Alt+F8, select the old template's name in the "Macros in"
dropdown, and then select a macro name and click Delete; repeat for each
macro in the list. Save the template and close it, then shut down Word.
3. Use Windows Explorer to copy the old template file from its current
location. Put the cursor in the address box and enter this address:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks
Press Enter to open the Document Building Blocks folder. Paste the template
into that folder.
4. Start Word. When you type the name of an AutoText entry and press F3, you
should get the expanded entry at the insertion point.
