Word 2007 Autotext Tip Box

[Jerre]

How can I turn on the autotext tip box? Our autotext works fine as long as
the user knows it is available, but they rely on the tip box to let them know
when to press F3.

There is no AutoComplete in Word 2007 (except for dates). They'll either
have to memorize the AutoText or use AutoCorrect entries instead.

Hmmm, any idea when this oversight will be corrected? Most folks who used
autotext benefited from the tips.

I think it's safe to say that MS has heard public opinion on this. I
wouldn't expect a change before the next version, but I suspect that some
change in the direction of the previous functionality may be made.
