Close Word. Rename normal.dot to normal_old.dot. Restart Word. You should be
back to all default settings (but for the moment you've lost all your
autotext and styles, etc). If OK so far, the problem was some kind of
corruption in normal.dot -- this is usually the case, anyway. Now use the
Organizer to retrieve your autotext, styles, etc from normal_old.dot

I can no longer use the "Insert Auto Text" option in Headers or Footers. I
have tried re-installing Office 2000 but nothing seems to work.
