Re: Word 2003 automatically completed some words, how is it done in 20

AutoComplete of AutoText entries is gone from Word 2007 (except for dates). You can force completion by typing part of the AutoText name and pressing F3. Or, you can use an AutoCorrect entry, which automatically changes. The dropdown choices from Word 2003 and earlier, however, are gone.
