Thanks again Graham. Have changed the one referred to and whilst this now
allows me to insert autotext in header/footer and gives me options, I now am
back to my icons dissappearing from toolbars every time a new document is
opened.

I will have to try and find a different way of stopping this from happening
than changing the normal.dot file although some of the instructions on how to
amend things need a rocket scientist to handle.

Thanks for at least sorting one issue for me

Do you have more than one normal.dot? The one that matters is saved in the
folder indicated at tools options file locations user templates.

Thanks for the info. I was advised to amend normal.dot to avoid icons
disappearing from tool bars every time Word opened new dos.
However, have renamed file under MS Office templates as suggested -
but open Word and new file and still have same problem ?

This is usually an indication that you have saved a document over
normal.dot. Rename normal.dot to oldnormal.dot and allow Word to
rebuild another.

I am having some trouble with Header & Footers in Word. Although i
can pull them up to view and can insert certain items, the Autotext
option is greyed out and non operational.
Can anyone help me get it back please ?
Thanks
