Word 2007 Auto Type/Suggestion

[Guest]

In the last version of Word I had, I was able to add words that I use often,
like FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. When I began typing those words, Word made a
little suggestion come up that gave me a chance to select if I want to use
what it had suggested or not just by hitting the "Enter" key, I believe. I've
looked through the AutoText area and added these words together in a phrase,
as well as others I use together a lot, but as I start typing in those words,
it does nothing. It doesn't give me the suggestion of the phrase. Does anyone
know how to accomplish this again? I was able to get this text added to Auto
Text by using the Save Selection to AutoText Gallery and by clicking on the
words there, it puts it into my document. Is that now the only way I can get
these often used phrases into my document? No more typing on the page and
getting a suggestion? Thanks for any help

AutoComplete was dropped from Word 2007, but F3 still works; give your
AutoText entries short names, type them, then press F3.

Make sure that "Show Auto Complete Suggestions" box is CHECKED on the
AutoText tab of the the Auto Correct dialog box.

There is no AutoComplete feature in Word 2007, hence no such check box.
