replaced the normal.dot file with one from the network (realize this isn't
the best approach). but wanted to know if there is a way to get the filename
autotext back and all the rest.. only have page right now.. so when we do a
header footer autotext choice is only page.

can we add back the rest of the styles.

Not really sure what you're asking (a little punctuation and something
resembling English syntax would help). If you've zapped your normal.dot,
you've discarded the autotext entries etc that were saved in it. You can
retrieve them if you have a backup.

Your best bet is to rename Normal.dot. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions.

To get your built-in AutoText back, rename normal.dot (with Word closed).
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. Use these methods instead of overwriting normal.dot in the future.

What I want to know is.. after replacing the normal.dot file with one from
our network. I lost the options to choose filename/path in header
footer(autotext) is there a way to get that back. or do I have to recreate
normal.

thanks
