If this is Word 2003 or earlier, note that AutoComplete (which I suspect is
what you're referring to when you speak of ones that "work") requires that
the AutoText entry name be at least four characters long and that these
characters be unique. If the first four letters of an entry name are the
same as the first four of the name of another entry, you will have to type
more letters until you reach one that is different.
Yes, I am using Word 2003. No matter how many letters of the words I type, it
doesn't give me the autocomplete text. And it is only this way for a few of
my autotext entries; the rest of them seem to work fine.

What are the names (not the content) of the entries that don't work?
