Is AutoText Disabled?
User has a number of autotext entries. Typing the unique 4-characters
shortcut does not invoke autotext. If you click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoText and locate the desired text, you can click OK and the text is inserted into the document. 'Show Autocomplete suggestions' is checked. I'm out of ideas other than renaming normal.dot. Is it likely corrupted or are we looking at something else? -- Brenda |

More often than not, if the first four characters are indeed unique for the
AutoText entry then the problem is due to another template containing the same entries. Check to see if the AutoText entries are in both the document template (if different from Normal.dot) and your Normal.dot. If you find duplicates then one of the duplications need to be deleted. Also check Tools/Templates and Add-ins to see if you have any global templates. If you find any, you can check for duplicates by temporarily unloading the template (remove the tick from the checkbox) and trying an AutoText entry.

As seems to often be the case, we could not recreate the problem. Thank you
for the suggestions on where to look. -- Brenda "Beth Melton" wrote: More often than not, if the first four characters are indeed unique for the AutoText entry then the problem is due to another template containing the same entries.
