Word 2003 Auto-Text Disappears
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? |

So unless you're sending out the template that contains the entries, the recipients won't see them. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Word 2003 Auto-Text Disappears
I understand that. However, that doesn't explain why one user could see the
additional auto-text entries and the other can't. Suggestions? "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Wed, 6 Feb 2008 11:19:02 -0800, mreyes45 wrote: I have created two auto-text entries in a document.

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.
