Office 2000 Query and Autotext
Hi All,
I have created a new template which basically adds autotexts the document name in the footer. Well we need to have this for all users and all documents So to do this I have simply renamed the oold normal and renamed my new template to normal.dot...well the problem then is that I have not autotext entries... what I did next was start again this time in my new template I copied ovber the autotext entries from normal to my new template using the organizer. and then i continued to rename muy normal and rename my new templkate to normal.dot this works...well not quite i now have autotext entries but when i go to view autotext... my list is simply the header and footer autotext entries with no headre footer menu item similarly the other list of autotexts are not there i.e. Attenion Line Closing Header/Footer etc HELP Cheers in advance Andrew |

Office 2000 Query and Autotext
Only Word can create Normal.dot. Users cannot do so, and you should not try.
Create a specific document template instead. If you insist on putting a header or footer on Normal.dot (which you can do by opening it directly), expect problems with labels. -- Suzanne S.

I endorse Suzanne's comments - A document template is the way forward. Note
that not only can you not create normal.dot in the manner you describe, but this file must not be shared. It is an individual user file. However the simplest approach would be to spend five minutes instructing your users how to insert a filename in the footer. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org SameOld wrote: Hi All, I have created a new template which basically adds autotexts the document name in the footer.
