In some instances in Outlook 2003 you start to type a word like Wednsday and
Outlook will offer a suggestion that you can use for that word. Usually you
hit tab or enter to enter that word and Outlook automatically enters it. It
does the same thing for Thank You, you type thank and Outlook offers the
suggestions. I can not find the same feature in Outlook 2007. There is no
AutoText list in 2007 either. There is auto complete which appears to be a
different features as autocomplete corrects the word you have already typed.
Does Outlook 2007 offer this feature?

Such a feature is available only if you installed Word 2007 and Outlook 2007 together. It's now called Quick Parts.
