Rename you normal.dot template to normal.old and then restart Word and see
if the problem is solved.

I use Auto Text to enter the file name of new documents in a footer. For
some reason this option has greyed out and is no longer available. I
think
it is due to some general problems I've been having with the normal.dot
template?

Any ideas on how to activate this feature?
