Hi Jay,
Word does have the ability though to find and use Quick parts in templates other than Building Blocks.dotx. If, for example, you
place a .dot template that has Autotext quick parts in them in one of the Office 2007 \Document Parts\ folders that hold building
block templates, then start Word, the Autotext entries should appear in and be avaialable in the Building Blocks organizer
(Insert=QuickParts)

Hi Terry,
Roy is correct -- the Organizer in 2007 has been stripped down to only
Styles and Macro Project Items.
On the Insert ribbon, click the Quick Parts button and select Building
Blocks Organizer to see the list of building blocks, which include
AutoText entries. But this Organizer doesn't have any means of copying
entries from another template.
You'll have to use Word 2003 to insert the old AutoText entries into a document, and apply the intended style to each one. Then open
that
document in Word 2007 and use Alt+F3 to save it as an AutoText entry
in whatever template you want them (typically either Building
Blocks.dotx or Normal.dotm).
To make the first part of that job easier, download the AutoTextDumper
template from
http://jay-freedman.info. I haven't yet written a
version of the companion template AutoTextLoader that would work in
Word 2007, so you're stuck doing the second part of the job manually.
