Default Auto text export to another PC - unable to

Open the 'lion' template and normal.dot on your PC. Use the organizer to
ensure that the style and the autotext in question are indeed saved in the
'lion' template and if not, copy them across.
Take the 'lion' template to the other PC and reverse the process using the
organizer.
My guess is that the autotext entry in question was saved in your normal
template and not the 'lion' template.

DEAR Graham
What I want is this template I made with 100 names to be transferred
to my wife's computer. So I tried from my computer to another
computer. Failed to see the 'LION NAMES' list and also the auto text
entries.

So pls sugest how to go about transferring the template I made to
another computer. Read all the threads and did exactly same but no
desired result. Using word97.

Must thank you for quick response and I will be watching for your
sugestion-

You can't save autotext in a document - only in a template

DEAR ALL
I opened new doc as template;

cut and pasted about 100 names;

blocked all names and gave the list name as 'LIONS NAMES';

high lighted each name and added it in the new auto list name;

deleted all the names;

saved it as 'LIONS TEMPLATE.DOT';

copied it to thumb drive and loaded it in another computer;

opened 'LIONS TEMPLATE.DOT'; tools-macro-macros-organizer- and
transferred all the 'styles' and 'auto text' entries from here to
'normal.dot' of another computer; closed the organizer;

saved as 'LIONS TEMPLATE.DOC'

But when I opened this document, i dont find the style 'LION NAMES'
and also dont find it in 'auto text'.

What I am doing wrong? Pls help.
