Word 2007: Finding the missing AutoText

AutoText is a very useful feature in Word that allows users to quickly insert some common addresses, phones, greetings, and more. This intimate feature was canceled in office 2007. That's not to say, but it's clear from Office 2007 Help that Office 2007 doesn't include an AutoText component, and that users can replace it with more powerful AutoCorrect features, is that really true?

Do not book as much as the book, even if the official help may not depend on the living, after research, I found that in office 2007 can still use the "AutoText" function, but we need to manually add it.
