Autotext
Each AutoText entry is stored in a template, so back up your
templates. See also: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/FilesToBackup.htm and http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ruth" wrote in message ... Is it possible to save your autotext file somewhere in case everything gets lost Hope you can help Ruth |

Autotext
Hi thanks, this is good if we could back up, but I believe the Autotext is
saved to templates on the C drive and as a company I think we only back up the network drive, does that sound right to you? Is there another way do you think? "Ruth" wrote: Is it possible to save your autotext file somewhere in case everything gets lost Hope you can help Ruth |

Autotext
Hi Ruth
When you create an AutoText, you get to decide where it is saved. If you don't explicitly tell Word to save it somewhere specific, then it will be saved in your normal.dot file. And your normal.dot file is at the folder indicated at Tools Options File Locations under "User Templates". So, at a minimum, you might like to create yourself a folder on the server and when appropriate, exit Word, find the normal.dot file and copy it to the server location. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
