AutoText not showing in organizer even though it's in the document
If I go to the organizer to add autotext to a toolbar, some of the autotext
isn't listed. I have a LOT of entries. It will all show up under normal.dot in the organizer, but not the template i'm using to use the autotext in. I have recopied the autotext over from normal.dot to my template, but that didnt work. When i'm in my template, I can insert it by going to insert - autotext- autotext. It's definitely in thte document, but it doesn't show up in the organizer. Is there any other way to add autotext to the toolbar w/o the organizer? |

Autotext is only stored in templates.
You can insert the text in a document. When building toolbars, it is vital that you know which template (or document) the toolbar (and its modifications) are saved in. If you are talking about the Autotext menu on the Header/footer toolbar, that menu is sorted by styles. When you have the Organizer window open check to see which templates are open. The Organizer will always list all of the AutoText in the templates shown. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

it shows up in the organizer under the correct template, but when i go to
tools-customize-commands-autotext some of it is missing. I dont think i made that clear in my original question. When i'm in tools-customize-commands-autotext it will show up under normal.dot where i copied it from, but when i switch to questionnaire template.dot the last few entries are missing.

You use the Organizer to copy it to your template! If it is in normal.dot,
you don't want it on a toolbar in your template or it will fail when normal.dot is changed. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
