Question AutoText Problem

Using Word 2010 on a Windows XP computer.

Back when we were using 2003 I could start to type in the name of an AutoText entry and the matching name would appear and I could click to confirm and the text would be inserted into my document.

Since we upgraded to 2010..I still have my AutoText entries, but I can't insert them the same way (I have to do it manually).

Is it because we are still on Windows XP, or am I missing a setting or step?

Thanks for your help.

I think I found the answer. To get this to work you have to:

go to:

File
Options
Advanced
Editing Options
check AutoComplete suggestions
