Default Auto Correction and Global Templates

I sucessfully managed to set up a paragraph numbering system using the SEQ
function. It works via the Auto Correct function - I type in a combination of
keystrokes and it inserts the next number in a sequence. Different keystrokes
give me different number sequences. Terrific, so far, just what I wanted. (
I first saw this function described by Jean Hollis Weber (MVP?) so I don't
take any credit for this very stable numbering system).

I added this function to Normal.dot and it worked in any document that I
opened, which is what I expected.
Then I thought it would be better to put this function into a separate
global template so I could apply it only to those documents that I wanted. So
far, so good.
Except, that when I apply the global template as an add-in (as you would)
the auto-corrections are not added.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Does Normal.dot behave differently
to other global templates? Do global templates pass on auto-correction
functionality?

Hope someone can help.
