Why has Create AutoText button suddenly become disabled?
Some time ago, I used the Word 2007 options to add a Create AutoText button
to the Ribbon Bar. I was able to successfully use it to create autotext entries. Suddenly, when I open documents I had previously created, the Create AutoText button is disabled (grayed out), and I don't know how to re-enable it. I tried deleting the button and re-adding it from the Word Options, but it is still disabled. Does anyone know why it would become disabled, and how it can be re-enabled? |

Hi Nick,
Do you have text or other object in the document selected? The icon will be greyed out if there's nothing selected to turn into an AutoText entry. ============ "Nick Piazza" wrote in message ...
