Have any of you had problems with autotext double spacing?

No. It double-spaces when I want it to. Otherwise it does not. It might help
if you explained what problem it is you are having and in which version of
Word.

I have been able to correct the situation. The user has what is called a
standard paragraph saved as autotext. When she would insert it into an
existing document by typing the keyword and hitting enter, it would go in
double-spaced and the rest of the existing document was single-spaced. If
she inserted it into a totally new document, it would go in as single-spaced.
I told her to copy the standard paragraph again and paste into a new
document as unformatted text and then save the autotext entry again, which
worked. Why the original autotext entry was going in as double-spaced in an
existing document I have not figured out yet. She tried it on multiple
existing documents as well and the same thing happened. Any ideas?

It has to do with the AutoText entry having a paragraph mark in it, which
carries formatting. However, that formatting starts with a Style. Which
Style, I don't know. So, the underlying Style in some of the documents is
double-spaced, in others single-spaced. If you look at the IncludeText
tutorial you can download from http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm,
you'll find an example of how styles and formatting interact when inserting
text (using an IncludeText field or AutoText).

Including the paragraph mark is a real key, though. If you select your
AutoText entries to not include paragraph marks you get less of this
behavior.
