You are very helpful. Yes, it's more a matter of toolbar customization, and
your guidelines worked. I was able to capture some customized buttons and
their macros, too. One more item, and I'll try not to take any more of your
time. How can I - or can I - recreate customized shortcut menus in the new
Normal.dot? I have altered several of the shortcut menus to include a wider
array of commands. I hope I don't have to recreate each "manually". Is there
an easy, "cut and paste" or "copy to" method?

If they are really custom toolbars, you can copy them from the renamed
Normal.dot to the new one using the Organizer. If, as is more likely, they
are actually toolbar customizations, here's a shortcut to rebuilding them:
Open the renamed Normal.dot and create a custom toolbar (you could name it
Temp). Drag all the custom toolbar buttons and menu items to this toolbar
and be sure it is saved in the renamed Normal.dot. Then use Organizer to
copy that toolbar into the new Normal.dot and drag the buttons and menu
items to their rightful places on the built-in toolbars and menus.

That time it worked. Thanks! Now all I have to do is re-build my custom
toolbars . . .

If you rename Normal.dot (find the active one in the path given on the
File
Locations tab of Tools | Options), I guarantee that the fresh Normal.dot
that Word will generate will contain the default AutoText entries. You
can
text this by starting Word in Safe Mode (by pressing Ctrl as the program
is
loading or by starting from a command line with the /a switch); if the
AutoText entries are present in Safe Mode (which bypasses your
Normal.dot
and uses Word's default settings, including the hard-coded internal
Normal.dot), then they will be present when Word generates a fresh copy.

This is (link) was helpful, but didn't solve the problem. Perhaps I
didn't
find the correct instance of Normal.dot to repair. At any rate, the
list
is
still missing.

The list of auto text entries has disappeared from the "insert
auto
text"
dropdown menu in the header/footer toolbar. It's still available
in
the
insertautotext menu option. What happened to it? How do I get the
list
active in header/footer toolbar? I get a blank square when I click
the
dropdown menu arrow.
