Auto Correct entries for Formatted Text
I have used this option many times in the past with no problem, but my
computer was recently rebuilt by our IT group, and now when I create an auto correct using formatted text it will not save. I can use it while Word is open, but if I close it and then reopen, the auto correct entries are gone. I would appreciate some help. Carol Ann |

Auto Correct entries for Formatted Text
Formatted AutoCorrect entries are saved in the Normal template, so I'm
guessing that something is preventing you from saving the Normal template correctly. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Carol Ann" wrote in message ...

Auto Correct entries for Formatted Text
I am having the exact same problem as Carol Ann. I had Adobe Acrobat
installed to convert .doc files to .pdf and formatted auto correct entries have not worked since. I can create non-formatted entries and they will save with no problem, it is only the formatted entries that will not save. Why does one type save but not the other? I have tried deleting the old and creating a new one but it will still revert to the old after logging out/loggin on.

Auto Correct entries for Formatted Text
Have you tried the Save All function after doing a customisation of
Autotext/toolbar/menu entry? After whatever change, press Shft+File, Save All, close Word, and reopen to see if the change has been retained. To Save All in Word 2007, you will have to add that command to the Quick Access Toolbar (via Office button | Word Options, Customize category). If this works, as you say you have Acrobat installed? The Acrobat addin can cause some changes not to be saved to the Normal.dot, such as new Autotext/toolbar/menu entries, etc. If you do have Acrobat then have a look at this webpage below, especially the section on Add/Remove Program, Modify. I had similar problems with Customise and Autotext/toolbar/menu, doing the following solved the problem but I also found that if you do the instructions and then reboot, Open and close word, then reverse the Modify instructions, the Acrobat functions return without the clashes with saving Customise and Autotext/toolbar/menu. http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm Hope this helps DeanH "JanR" wrote: I am having the exact same problem as Carol Ann.
