Autotext does still exist but it has been rather subsumed into the new
Building Blocks feature. You no longer get AutoComplete tips for AutoTexts,
and, so, cannot insert them with Enter, but you can still do it with F3 when
the entered text uniquely identies one Autotext.

Building Blocks are much more comprehensive and a full explanation is far
too much for a single post here. One type of Building Block, called Quick
Parts, and generally considered to be the replacement for AutoTexts, can be
found on the Insert tab of the Ribbon; others, for example Cover Pages,
Headers, Footers, are in various places on the Ribbon. From the menu of any
of them you have access to the Building Blocks Organizer, from which you can
work with all available Building blocks.
