Default auto text fails to retain copied text after word closes down, why?

Formatted autocorrect entries and autotext entries are stored in normal.dot.
If they are not being saved, something is inhibiting the saving of
normal.dot. This is usually caused by a poorly written add-in and the worst
offender is Acrobat 7. See the last section of

Hi dt,

AutoCorrect:
Your autocorrect entries are stored in an username.acl file. The
location of this file is stored in the registry (Start | Run... |
type regedit | OK) In the registry editor, search (Edit | Find...)
the text .acl. Clear the Keys and Values boxes. When you find the
location of the file, check whether the file exists in this location.
Caution: do not change anything in the registry.

AutoText:
Which AutoText entries are visible, depends on what is selected in
Insert | AutoText AutoText... | Look in:. The preferred setting is
"All active templates".

Good luck,
Cooz
