auto filling text in word and outlook

[Ronald Guillen]

My system was working perfectly using Office 2003 SBE.

I opened some old word files, and now my auto text feature
is not working.

For example, when I type the first part of the date or
word in my new document, it used to suggest and complete
the date for me, after I hit enter, now it does not.

When I type words, it still automatically suggests the
words for me but NOW, when I hit enter it just goes to the
next line.

The old word files might be saved by older versions of Word when you last
saved them. Those versions may not support Auto Correct. Thus Word 2003 shuts
them dwon as them to avoid capability problems.

Try Save As then a newer version of Word file.

If this does not work you probably have turned Auto Correct off.
Go to Tools >> AutoCorrect Options ... > Auto Correct tab, then make sure
that you have checked the check box accompanied with the text 'Replace text
as you type'.
