This is a re-post since I did not get any responses with the prior posting

I created my auto text entries in Word 2000, in Normal.dot, but when I use
them in Word 2003, they show up as a tracked change. I then have to accept
the change to get the text. This is problemactic, since track changes is not
on. I have tried multiple combinations of tracked change settings, but this
has no effect. New autotext entries I create work normally.

Another possibly related issue, is that templates created in Word 2000, show
up as "Damaged" in Word 2003. These templates work fine in Word 2000 -
checked, recopied, cross checked same templates back into Word 2000.

As a test, I have tried these in several computers with differing windows
versions (Win XP/Word 2k, Win 2k/Word 2k, Win XP/Word 2003, Win 2k/Word
2003), all with the same results.

Are there some compatibility issues with Word 2000 and 2003?

How can I correct these?
