You can't save autotext in a document - only in a template

Open the 'lion' template and normal.dot on your PC. Use the organizer to
ensure that the style and the autotext in question are indeed saved in the 'lion' template and if not, copy them across. Take the 'lion' template to the other PC and reverse the process using the organizer. My guess is that the autotext entry in question was saved in your normal template and not the 'lion' template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CAPTGNVR wrote: DEAR Graham What I want is this template I made with 100 names to be transferred to my wife's computer.

DEAR GRAHAM
I have done that only. I even checked the 'lion template", and found the style and auto text is present. And after reversing by transferring all from lion template to the normal.dot on the other computer and also see it copied. Then when I open the new document, I dont see it. brgds/captgnvr "Graham Mayor" wrote: Open the 'lion' template and normal.dot on your PC.

Auto text export to another PC - unable to
DEAR GRAHAM
I checked the 'lion template' on my computer and confirm that both the required style and auto text does exist. I went to another computer and opened that computer's normal.dot; in organizer opened 'lion template' dot and reversed the entries. I save this normal.dot and exit and open as word doc. In the styles I do see the "lions names" but in auto text tool bar, I dont see "lions name" and do not get those 100 names copied. I know I am pretty close but some wrong step which I am unable to figure out. It will be very nice if u could advice me what needs to be done to see the 'lion names' in the "all entries" and on clicking u see the list of names??? br/capt gnvr "CAPTGNVR" wrote: DEAR GRAHAM I have done that only.

Send a copy of "Lions.dot" to your wife's email.
Put the file "Lions.dot" in her STARTUP folder it then becomes a global template available to all her documents. "CAPTGNVR" wrote in message ...

While that will work for the autotext, it will not work for the style.

Has he created the styles? He created a new template with "autotext" but no
mention of how the styles got there? That's why I suggested STARTUP. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

He has a template with a style called "Lion Names" with which the autotexts
in that template are supposed to be associated.
