"Auto text" list in Word 2003 is empty!
When i click on All Entries from the Auto text toolbar nothing happens. (it's
empty) When i go via Insert - Auto text, the only entries in there are the ones i created under 'Normal'. I have also lost the ability to enter auto text in my footers, such as file name, path, created by etc (although date, page no etc are still on the footer toolbar. This is really frustrating |

Have you copied a personal template in place of normal.dot?
Only Word can create normal.dot. Rename the current one and Word will create a new one c/w the default autotext entries. You can then use the organizer to copy your personally created ones to the template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tilbz wrote: When i click on All Entries from the Auto text toolbar nothing happens.

Thank you so much that has solved the problem. Only now could you tell me how
to copy my personally created ones as i cant find them. Presumably i just deleted them? "Graham Mayor" wrote: Have you copied a personal template in place of normal.dot?

If you renamed the template as I instructed, they are still in the renamed
template. You can open this in the organizer (ALT+F8 Organizer) and copy from whatever the renamed normal.dot is now called to the new normal.dot -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tilbz wrote: Thank you so much that has solved the problem.
