Importing Autotext??
I have a computer that I have added words to the autotext
feature. I now want to transfer or import those entries into another computer. Is this possible and if so how do I do it? Trevor |

AutoText entries are saved with the template - usually normal.dot unless you
specified a different template when you create the entries. Use Organiser to copy the AutoText entries to a temporary template. Move the template to the other computer and then use Organiser to copy them to your new normal.dot. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Trevor" wrote in message ... :I have a computer that I have added words to the autotext : feature.

AutoText is stored in templates, in normal.dot by default. You do _not_ want
to simply copy normal.dot (with that name) to the new computer. Instead, create a separate global template and use the Organizer to copy your AutoText from your old normal.dot to that template. Then install that template on your new computer (in addition to the normal.dot for that system). 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
