Default Header and footer "Insert auto text" drop down is empty

In the header and footer toolbar, the "Insert auto text" drop down doesn't
have the usual auto text fields. What can be done? Some solution that
wouldn't require changing the Normal.dot with the would be better, since an
admin account will be required for that (won't it?).

In order to use Word properly you should have read/write access to the
normal template. Renaming the normal template to normal.old will restore the
default autotext entries and you can use the organizer to copy any others
you have created from old to new.

Or you could recreate the autotext entries you need whilst in the
header/footer view.
