You must not have any useful AutoText entries (so it will not bother you
that Word 2007 has no AutoComplete), but I would hate to be unable to type
"lore," press Enter, and get a page of lorem ipsum text (to cite just one
example). Of course, even in Word 2007 I can type "lore" and press F3 with
the same effect.
