For future reference, you can rename Normal.dot, copy the relevant AutoText
entries from the new Normal.dot to the renamed one, then delete the new one
and rename the old one back to Normal.dot. This would be the most efficient
approach if you'd lost more than a couple of AutoText entries (though
usually that happens only if you've saved a document as Normal.dot, in which
case you have more problems than just AutoText), but in your case recreating
the entries was the better way.
Ah, this somehow keeps everything else about your customized
Normal.dot? That's the impression I get from above.
Yes, if it does that, that will be a good thing to know because after
this thread, I went and opened various Word installations that I could
get into and saw that autotext varies from installation to
installation. This is the first time I'd been without the pathname
(something I use consistently and has never not been there which is
why I never noticed this behaviour).
Thanks!

Well, you could rename Normal.dot, or you could create them yourself;
they're just { FILENAME } and { FILENAME \p } fields.
The second option sounds like a winner as I couldn't live without my
normal.dot! g As always, I'll try to see what I can find in the
help and on the web. I don't have a whole lot of luck with these
types of searches, but I always try. g
Thanks.

I don't know where these have gone to in my current normal.dot, but
they're gone. Is there a way to get these back?
Thanks.
