How do I restore the Default settings?
I can no longer use the "Insert Auto Text" option in Headers or Footers. I
have tried re-installing Office 2000 but nothing seems to work. |

Close Word. Rename normal.dot to normal_old.dot. Restart Word. You should be
back to all default settings (but for the moment you've lost all your autotext and styles, etc). If OK so far, the problem was some kind of corruption in normal.dot -- this is usually the case, anyway. Now use the Organizer to retrieve your autotext, styles, etc from normal_old.dot "Hank_Wheelie" wrote in message ... I can no longer use the "Insert Auto Text" option in Headers or Footers.

This is a result of there being no longer any autotext entries assigned to
the paragraph style you currently have as header/footer. This could be because you have changed the paragraph style or deleted the autotexts. Did you, for example, save a document as normal.dot?You can still apply any autotext entries from the insert autotext main menu entry, or as Jezebel has suggested you could return to the default normal.dot template which will reset the autotexts and header style.

This usually results from a misguided attempt to replace Normal.dot with
your own version. "Only God can make a tree," and only Word can make Normal.dot. See €śWD2002: Styles and AutoText Are Not Copied to New Template Based on Normal.dot€ť at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291441 and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm -- Suzanne S.
