how do i add words to auto text/complete on word 2007?

[nowhereman]

I am new to Word 2007 and Im doing pretty good at finding things out on my
own, so far. The one thing I just cant seem to find is the auto text/
complete menu. I want to add words to it and I dont know how!

You can still create AutoText entries in Word 2007 by selecting text and
pressing Alt+F3. You'll need to explicitly select the AutoText gallery, as
what you are actually creating is a Building Block, and by default it will
be added to the Quick Parts gallery.

To view these entries (sort of), use Insert | Quick Parts | Building Blocks
Organizer. If you sort by Gallery, all the AutoText will sort to the top;
unfortunately, the preview is not very useful.

A better way to see what entries are available is to add an AutoText gallery
to the Quick Access Toolbar. Go to Office button > Word Options > Customize,
set the category to Commands Not in the Ribbon, select AutoText in the list,
and click the Add button.
