Thanks for your reply Suzanne.
First off, the Autotext did transfer using Organizer and within a Template
version as you stated, but the Styles did not, which is necessary for trying
to create Drop Down Lists (not using Forms) since they provide ONLY the
Autotext for specific Styles i.e. Lists. Are you able to respond differently
knowing that additional information, I would appreciate it, thanks.

preserved.

I have read MANY postings on the internet regarding this matter and have
yet
to make a "solution" work - ORIGINALLY I was trying to create a drop down
list WITHOUT using FORMS, so I found a solution using Autotext & Styles,
my
problem NOW is that once the document is put onto a network, each
individual
computer cannot utilize solution as intended i.e. autotext & styles are
not
saved within document. I was able to export & import Autotext AND Styles
in
organizer to the additional users, but the document still doesn't
implement
correctly (the styles & autotext) as it does in original document. The
only
way I was able to make it work was to simply transfer normal.dot from
original computer, but I've read EVERYWHERE that I don't want to do that -
so
what's the SOLUTION?!?
