I'm sorry I have not been able to make myself more clear. Please let me try
again. I understand about the effects of saving the paragraph mark and I
also understand that the autotext entries are saved in my Normal template.
I have maybe 50-75 entries in each of two different styles, Normal and
Normal(web) and I would like to combine them without having to re-enter them
all. That is why I originally asked:
"Where are these files of autotext entries stored? Can I edit these
files directly?"
Any further help will still be much appreciated.

He already did. If you save an entry with a paragraph mark, you save
paragraph formatting, including font color and size.

Thank you Charles and good luck with your legal career.
Is anyone able to answer my specific autotext questions?

AutoText is stored in templates, in Normal.dot by default.

If you store a paragraph mark, it will contain formatting for the
paragraph.

I've just gotten started with autotext and I can see that it will be
an
important time saver for me if I can figure out how to use it well.
Usually while emailing, I have been using Alt+F3 to add a lot of new
autotext entries and that works fine.
My problem is that when I insert one of my autotext entries back into
my
document, usually an email, it is often times formatted with a
different
font, size, and/or color that that of the current paragraph.
I have somehow created three different sets of autotext entries, named
Normal, Normal(Web), and Plain Text.
What can I do to have the entries in all three catagories available to
me, but in the format of the current paragraph?
Where are these files of autotext entries stored? Can I edit these
files
directly?
Any and all help will be very much appreciated!
