I would like to insert one word and have it automatically insert a paragraph.
How do I do that?

When you create the AutoText, make sure that it includes a paragraph mark
(¶).
If you are using Word 2007, note that AutoComplete is no longer supported
for AutoText. Instead, make use of AutoCorrect.
To create your AutoCorrect entry: Create an example paragraph with the
contents and formatting that you want. Select the whole paragraph, including
the paragraph mark. Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In
the Proofing category, click AutoCorrect Options. Select "Replace text as
you type" (if necessary). In the "Replace" box, type the word that you want
to replace. In the "With" box, you should see a preview of your current
selection (and "Formatted text" should be selected). Click Add to create the
AutoCorrect entry, and then click OK twice.

for 2003 and prior, select the Text you wish to have as a new entry, Alt+F3,
enter a unique name, enter, that is it.
Be aware that these entries are saved in your Normal.dot.
If you want the entry to have a specific format, include in the selection
the Paragraph Mark, if left out no formatting will be assigned and when the
entry is used it is assigned the style of where the cursor is.
These can be used for complex items as well; such as Tables, Headers/Footers
(i.e. for landscape orientation), Table/Figure Captions; not just simple
words.
