How to restore the "Insert Auto Text" menu in the "Header & Footer" tool bar????
Hi everyone,
Office 2003, Word. View, Header and Footer. When I click on the "Insert Auto Text" button on the tool bar, the menu is empty. I have tried the reset tool bar button...nothing. I went to "Insert Auto Text" menu, that also seems empty of all the generic greetings, the word "Subject: " etc., for auto insert purposes. I tried "detect & repair" with my Office 2003 CD, still no joy. Can anyone suggest another avenue? TIA, Gilles |

The usual reason for this is that you have saved a document in or as
Normal.dot. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm (It could also be that you have only some other template selected under "Look in" in the AutoText dialog.) -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, I owe you a giant cup of coffee! If you are ever in Montreal,
e-mail me before coming here and I will buy you a drink. I've got to show you Northern hospitality equals Southern hospitality. Thank you again, you were right on the money. I deleted my normal.dot and restarted. All is well again. Gilles "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... The usual reason for this is that you have saved a document in or as Normal.dot.

Glad I could help! Just for the record, though, I don't ever advise
*deleting* Normal.dot. If you have *no* customizations at all, this is an acceptable technique, but most users are better off merely renaming Normal.dot. Then, if it turns out that that doesn't solve the problem, they can rename back and look for another cause. If it does solve the problem, then many of the user customizations can be retrieved from the renamed Normal.dot using the Organizer or other methods. -- Suzanne S.
