Word 2007 AutoText and Styles?

[John]

In Word 2000 I could create a style, name it and then select that style in my
document, type the text I wanted related to that style, highlight that text,
Click on Insert, Autotext, Autotext then apply a name to that entry.

Once all this was completed, on my toolbar under the "all entries" button I
could choose that style name and then have those named autotext items
availabe under that particular style to be inserted into my document.

I had this style associated with a template I use all the time to share such
things with co-workers.

We now have Word 2007 and I can't figure out how to add those listed text
items saved as Autotext to a style. My created styles made the jump from
2000 to 2007, but the autotext entries did not.

How do I associate the two in 2007 so that the autotext entries list under a
named style?

Alternatively, Greg Maxey has explained a method for creating custom
Building Block galleries that are similar to AutoText lists by style; see
