Default Copy Word 2003 Autotext to Word 2007

Can I copy my existing Autotext in Word 2003 to Word 2007. My
secretarial users usually share this out by copying Normal.dot to one
another. We keep a large number of addresses in this way.

Make a copy of the Normal.dot that contains the AutoText entries (name it
something else) and store it in

%appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks

You may have to restart Word to make it pick up the entries.

If that Normal.dot contains any macros, it's a good idea to remove them from
the copy before moving it to Document Building Blocks.
