AutoText
I have been reading the boards about the autotext feature and trying to
follow all the different suggestions to load our Word 2003 autotext into Word 2007. We have a variety of templates that we haven't used since installing 2007, so I tried applying one of those templates to a new document, but the autotext is not appearing in the Building Blocks Organizer. I can't tell whether we still have an old Normal.dot template or not. Where would I find it? I'm assuming the normal.dotm that is currently in our startup folder is the 2007 template, which obviously wouldn't have our old autotext, right? I'm a tad confused with this. So, any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! |

Can you expand on what you mean by "applying one of those templates to a new
document"? Do you mean you created a new document based on the template? Do you mean you changed the Document Template? Did you search for Normal.dot to see if you still have it? Also, Normal.dotm shouldn't be in a startup folder, it should be in your Templates folder. To find the Templates folder copy/paste the following in the Address bar of the Windows Explorer: %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Joanne" wrote in message ...

Yes, I created a new document based on the template. I think I just got it
figured out. Apparently, when we installed Word 2007, it saved the old Normal.dot as Normal11.dot. When I apply that template to a document and look in the Building Blocks Organizer, I see all my old autotext. Thanks for your help!

Hi Joanne,
Yes, if you do an upgrade-in-place, the installer can rename it to NormaL11.dot (v11 is Word 2003). ============== "Joanne" wrote in message ... Yes, I created a new document based on the template.
