Default AutoText drop down boxes empty

In InsertAutoText the Closings, Header/Footer,... choices display only empty
boxes rather than a selection of items. How do I turn this feature on?

Default AutoText drop down boxes empty

This is usually caused by saving a document as normal.dot. Only Word can
create normal.dot. Renaming the normal template to normal.old will cause
Word to rebuild a new template and restore the default autotext entries. You
can use the organizer to copy any personalisations you have created from old
to new.

Or you could recreate the autotext entries you need whilst in the
header/footer view.
