AutoText and AutoTextLists are hopelessly unpredictable. I imported three
autotext items from another template and Word listed them in the "Normal"
branch of the autotext menu category even though the autotext items I
imported were definitely not styled "Normal" in the source template. (I don't
use "Normal" style for anything.) The autotext branching menu categories, I
thought, were derived from the autotext styles in use. Alas, apparently,
nope.

I have also created an AutoTextList of other items and those items
were assigned a different, unique autotextlist style, when I created
them.
I thought that the result would be that only those items styled with
my "autotextlist" style would display in the autotextlist popup menu.
But instead, the autotextlist popup menu lists both my autotext
entries AND my autotextlist entries. Am I doing something wrong, or
is this a bug?
Exactly what does the field code of the autotextlist popup say? And what are
the actual names of the styles you assigned to the two groups of entries?
Compare the field code to the syntax shown in the "How it works" section of
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...toTextList.htm. Is it correct,
particularly the style name in the \s switch?
