The Insert Autotext on Footer toolbar is grayed out/unavailable.
I can no longer use autotext to insert my pathname and filename in a footer.
It *may* have happened when I was revising my Normal template. How can I get Insert Autotext back into my footer toolbar? |

If you "revised" Normal.dot by creating a new one of your own, you have lost
your AutoText entries. See €śWD2002: Styles and AutoText Are Not Copied to New Template Based on Normal.dot€ť at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291441 and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm -- Suzanne S.

How can I get Insert Autotext back into my footer toolbar? Exactly how did you revise your Normal template? If you saved an ordinary document with the name Normal.dot, that would account for the loss of AutoText and some AutoCorrect entries. See the section "Creating a new Normal.dot from scratch" in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions to rebuild Normal.dot. Read the whole section first, particularly the part about salvaging existing customizations. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
