Open the 'lion' template and normal.dot on your PC. Use the organizer to
ensure that the style and the autotext in question are indeed saved in the 'lion' template and if not, copy them across. Take the 'lion' template to the other PC and reverse the process using the organizer. My guess is that the autotext entry in question was saved in your normal template and not the 'lion' template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CAPTGNVR wrote: DEAR Graham What I want is this template I made with 100 names to be transferred to my wife's computer.

Auto text export to another PC - unable to
DEAR GRAHAM
I checked the 'lion template' on my computer and confirm that both the required style and auto text does exist. I went to another computer and opened that computer's normal.dot; in organizer opened 'lion template' dot and reversed the entries. I save this normal.dot and exit and open as word doc. In the styles I do see the "lions names" but in auto text tool bar, I dont see "lions name" and do not get those 100 names copied. I know I am pretty close but some wrong step which I am unable to figure out. It will be very nice if u could advice me what needs to be done to see the 'lion names' in the "all entries" and on clicking u see the list of names??? br/capt gnvr "CAPTGNVR" wrote: DEAR GRAHAM I have done that only.

I now have a copy of the template and have sent the OP a macro solution, but
would appreciate your insights on this. The template contains a string of names saved as individual autotext entries and a paragraph style with which they are supposed to be associated (they were created I believe in Word 97). If you use the template as a document template, as suggested in your post, or if you copy the autotext entries to the normal template they appear in Insert Autotext Autotext dialog and can be inserted, but don't appear in the dropdown associated with the dedicated style nor in the list for Normal style (apart from a couple of them) or against any other stylename used in the template. The macros write all the autotexts to a document then resave them as autotexts using the same naming system as had been used previously. Then they do appear in the list. Most odd! I suspect it may be something to do with the way Word 97 handles autotexts, which I seem to recall was changed at some point - either 2000 or 2002? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

DEAR GRAHAM I checked the 'lion template' on my computer and confirm that both the required style and auto text does exist. I went to another computer and opened that computer's normal.dot; in organizer opened 'lion template' dot and reversed the entries. I save this normal.dot and exit and open as word doc. In the styles I do see the "lions names" but in auto text tool bar, I dont see "lions name" and do not get those 100 names copied. I know I am pretty close but some wrong step which I am unable to figure out.

Auto text export to another PC - unable to
He has a template with a style called "Lion Names" with which the autotexts
in that template are supposed to be associated. See my reply to Suzanne. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jules wrote: Has he created the styles?

I haven't really used AutoText that much, nor have I been much concerned
about portability, so I wasn't aware of any difference between 97 and later versions in their handling of same, but I would find it very odd if a template that contained both the AutoText entries and the style in which they were created was not portable (that is, that a document based on the template would not display the AT entries in a list for the given style). I have a template for my Rotary bulletins that I essentially never use since I create each week's bulletin based on the previous week's, but if I create a new document based on that template, it does show some (four) AutoText entries in styles that were created for that template. If I change the "Look in" setting to Bulletin.dot, those entries are the ones listed, so they're clearly in that template and not Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... I now have a copy of the template and have sent the OP a macro solution, but would appreciate your insights on this. The template contains a string of names saved as individual autotext entries and a paragraph style with which they are supposed to be associated (they were created I believe in Word 97). If you use the template as a document template, as suggested in your post, or if you copy the autotext entries to the normal template they appear in Insert Autotext Autotext dialog and can be inserted, but don't appear in the dropdown associated with the dedicated style nor in the list for Normal style (apart from a couple of them) or against any other stylename used in the template. The macros write all the autotexts to a document then resave them as autotexts using the same naming system as had been used previously. Then they do appear in the list. Most odd! I suspect it may be something to do with the way Word 97 handles autotexts, which I seem to recall was changed at some point - either 2000 or 2002? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
