Autotext item should retain paragraph formatting in effect at the.
I notice that when I add an autotext item, and then later retrieve that item,
it does not retain the paragraph formatting I had applied at the time I added it. For example, I create a 3-column table (tbl3), set the left and right indents for all columns to 0" and set the before spacing to 0.4 line and the after space to 0 pt. I then add that autotext item. Later, when I activate that autotext item, the left indent has defaulted to 0.25" and the after spacing has defaulted to 6pt instead of retaining what I had previously set. |

If you include paragraph marks in your AutoText entry it will retain the
formatting but that formatting will be based on styles. If the styles are already in your document, the current definition will apply rather than the one that was used when you stored your AutoText.
