Despite being in the same dialog, AutoText and AutoCorrect are
different and distinct features.
In addition to turning off the AutoText suggestions, you must go to
the AutoCorrect tab of the dialog and uncheck the "Replace text as you
type" box. You should also uncheck the box at the bottom,
"Automatically use suggestions from the spelling checker".
