Default Word 2003 Auto-Text Disappears

That is not possible as I created them on my computer. They have not been
used or generated prior to my sending the document to her.

I understand that. However, that doesn't explain why one user could
see the additional auto-text entries and the other can't. Suggestions?

I have created two auto-text entries in a document. I have e-mailed
the document to a couple of people for testing. One person had no
problems with the auto-text, however, the other person does not
have the auto-text entries. I have sent him several copies and even
brought a copy on my flashdrive to no avail.

We are using the same version of Word. Any suggestions on how to
correct?

AutoText can be stored only in template (*.dot) files, not in
document (*.doc)
files. So unless you're sending out the template that contains the
entries, the
recipients won't see them.
