is there a function in Word 2007 whereby it recognizes the words which i type frequently, and then automatically completes it later on in the document after i type, say, the first 3-4 letters of those words? how do i activate it?

thanks for any help!

There is AutoCorrect, which allows you to have a shortcut code for typing something. For instance, you could have "Michael, Best, Hanson and Burns, LLP" and substitute "mbhb." When you would type mbhb it would give you the full version.
