Autotext is saved in templates, normal.dot by default. But you do not want
to copy your old normal.dot to a new installation. First, find your normal.dot file in Word 2000. Make a copy of it naming the copy something like normal2000.dot. Then do your upgrade. It may incorporate your AutoText automatically. If so, you are fine, if not, you could put your normal2000.dot file in your Word Startup folder (Tools Options File Locations). You would then have your old AutoText available (as well as macros and any custom toolbars). Note that AutoCorrect entries are different from AutoText entries and stored elsewhere.

If you are upgrading in place (installing a new program over the old one on
the same computer), your AutoText and other customizations will be preserved automatically. If you are moving to a new computer, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm -- Suzanne S.
