Default New AutoText Option Greyed Out

Hi:

I tried to insert a new AutoText entry (a shortcut for the lorem ipsum text)
to my current list via InsertAutoText. When the drop down menu appeared,
the "New...Alt+F3" option was greyed out therefore I was unable to select it
to create the new entry.

Can anyone help with how to turn the option back on so I can insert new
AutoText?

Thanks!
