The AutoText is not working. If I create a new autotext entry and name it
"signature" when I type in "signature" it does not autocomplete. The only
way I can insert the autotext is by typing signature and then hitting F3. It
seems as if the autocomplete is not turning on. But the "autocomplete" check
box is checked under the autotext menu. Can anyone help?

Are you using Word 2007? If so, sadly, Autocomplete is not available for
anything except dates. We have hopes that it can be restored in some future
service pack, but Microsoft hasn't made any promises about that.
